+### Default configs
+
+Default configuration file is added into your home directory as `.radio-active-configs.ini`
+
+```bash
+[AppConfig]
+loglevel = info
+limit = 100
+sort = votes
+volume = 80
+filepath = /home/{user}/recordings/radioactive/
+filetype = mp3
+player = ffplay
+```
+
+Do NOT modify the keys, only change the values. you can give any absolute or relative path as filepath.
+
 ### Bonus Tips
 
 1. when using `rf`: you can force the recording to be in mp3 format by adding an extension to the file name. Example "talk-show.mp3". If you don't specify any extension it should auto-detect. Example "new_show"
