 These are specific details on each section of the app, and how to use them
 ### Server:
-- `sound/` contains all mp3 files
+- `./sound` contains all mp3 files by default
 - `databaseGenerator.py` scans through mp3 files and gets information about them
     - `Filename, Title, Artist, Art, Length` are all saved 
         - *If the title and artist are not in the mp3 metadata, it looks for a format of* `TITLE_ARTIST.mp3` *and otherwise defaults to the file name as the title, and no artist*

     - Running with `--apikey (KEYhere)` sets the LastFM key for that run
