modes
the program will ask you for mode/method.
ITS FINE IF YOU JUST LEAVE IT BLANK. THE DEFAULT MODE IS 't'
- n : normal mode/method. searches song normally.
- t : topic mode/method. Searches for the music autogenerated by youtube. these don't have a video, only audio that too of the song only. DEFAULT MODE
- a : audio mode/method. add (Official Audio) to further enhance the search term for youtube. serves the same purpose as t mode.
Recommended is the topic mode. it works for must of the time. but in case if it dosen't use n or a respectively.
