In plain English

This project is described as a mod for Forza Horizon 6 that allows players to listen to their own Spotify playlists while playing the game. Forza Horizon is a racing game set in an open world, and the idea here is to replace or supplement the in-game radio stations with music streamed directly from a personal Spotify account. To use it, you download and extract an archive from the releases page, run the included installer as an administrator, log in with your Spotify credentials, and then launch the game. A Spotify Premium account is listed as a requirement, along with a legitimate copy of Forza Horizon 6. The README includes a short troubleshooting table covering common issues: Spotify failing to connect, no audio in-game, the application not starting, antivirus warnings flagging the tool, and music cutting out. The typical fixes suggested are running the app as administrator, ensuring Spotify is actively playing, and adding the folder to antivirus exclusions. The project is written in TypeScript and targets Windows 10 and Windows 11. There is no source code walkthrough or technical documentation in the README beyond the installation steps. The troubleshooting note about antivirus warnings is common for unsigned third-party tools that interact with other applications. The project is MIT licensed.
