this happens in both the web ui and the command terminal. it had been working fine, then a week ago it just randomly stopped working

i use windows 10, latest python/ffmpeg/spotdl

things ive tried:

  • completely uninstalling and reinstalling spotdl, python, and ffmpeg
  • using python and terminal to install spotdl and ffmpeg
  • changed config.json so that client id and custom are mine (following https://github.com/spotDL/spotify-downloader/issues/2142)
  • changed conffig.json so that bitrate is "128k" (with the quotations)

notes:

  • i noticed when i was reinstalling that it simply would not create folder in C:\Users\me.spotdl. i used the terminal to generate the config file and manually created a .spotdl folder. idk if that affects anything. i changed settings in the web ui, and saved, then opened the config, and did not see the changes, so i'm worried something went wonky there
  • i open a terminal in the folder itself bc why not, but idk if that affects anything

Where are my files downloaded / How can I change download location?
By default, spotDL downloads to the working directory aka Where you ran spotDL from

You can change the working directory with cd. On Windows, the default working directory is C:\Users\YOURNAME\

Changing Output Directory

Use the --output flag to change ouput directory, e.g. spotdl download [songUrl] --output /home/music/

You can use flags to specify a custom path template. For example, your music could be sorted into nested folders per album. (spotdl [songUrl] --output '{artist}/{album}/{title} - {artist}.{ext}'
You can use the following variables in your path template: {title}, {artists}, {artist}, {album}, {album-artist}, {genre}, {disc-number}, {disc-count}, {duration}, {year}, {original-date}, {track-number}, {tracks-count}, {isrc}, {track-id}, {publisher}, {list-length}, {list-position}, {list-name}, {output-ext}.
