June Release

Changes in this release:

• Song names for songs in playlist or if the song name is not passed are now searched using YouTube Music's API which increases the match of the song to the video. This significantly changes the experience since the user won't be asked for a name of the song by default.
• Add a --download-archive flag. This will work just like youtube-dl's flag. A file is expected.
• Other bug fixes to improve performance.

Shoutout to @yashsinghcodes for some regex fixes!
