Hello, I am currently working in a foster home and our kids are not allowed to listen/download explicit songs. I found out about spotdl and like the idea however I am having trouble figuring out to use the "explicit:false" metadata query to filter out explicit songs when downloading from a playlist. Can any of your provide an example. I am rather tech savy but command line, especially unix, is the bane of my existience . Playlist i'm attempting to filter: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7ob3uEqbUZXridAboByHQc
