Discord rich presence using Listenbrainz

This program uses a few API's (libraries) in order to display a Listenbrainz user's now playing song as a rich presence status in Disord, those being:

• ListenBrainz (pylistenbrainz)
• MusicBrainz (musicbrainzngs)
• Discord RPC (pypresence)

Make sure to check the terms of use for these before using this application.

When ran, it will fetch the now playing song from ListenBrainz, fetch the album art from MusicBrainz, and then update the user's Discord status. It is designed to do as little work as possible while updating as frequently as possible.
