 # YTM-Shuffler
 
 Shuffles a playlist because google can't seem to be bothered to do it
+
+---
+
+# Usage
+
+1.  Clone this repo `git clone https://daviddaily.dev/david/YTM-Shuffler.git && cd YTM-Shuffler`
+2.  Run `pipenv install`
+3.  Follow the documentation from the [API docs](https://ytmusicapi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/setup.html#manual-file-creation) to create the `config.json`
+4.  Run `pipenv shell`
+5.  Use `python shuffler.py ` followed by the name of the playlist you'd like to be shuffled, in quotes if its more than one word.
+6.  If you'd like to create an automagic backup, pass a second argument like `python shuffler.py "shuffle this" yes`
+
+Currently its limited to 1000 songs, but I feel like that's enough for most people.
