I was downloading quite a few songs for a plunderphonics project I had in mind, but judging by all these text files... yeah, something tells me that that album isn't releasing anytime soon, because this pops up for almost every song but one:

FFmpegError: Failed to convert Bullet For My Valentine - Hearts Burst into Fire, you can find error here:
C:\Users\User.spotdl\errors\ffmpeg_error_2025-03-27-21-42-23.txt

Attached is one said text file. Whatever is causing the issue, this needs to be fixed.

This happens when I combine it with the fix for an incorrect link, however.

You can specify specific YouTube videos to download with Spotify metadata, or vice versa.
To do this, use the notation spotdl download "YouTubeURL|SpotifyURL"
Note that the quote marks (") are essential.
