Hey, I would like to ask if it's safe to use multiple download workers? I see 1 is the default. Is Spotify more likely to strike my requests if I use 20 workers? Can someone tell me about their experience?

Thanks for making this btw! Very useful to put my playlists directly into rekordbox.

I tried using multiple download workers for both mine and my wife's accounts however downloads rarely worked so I ended up only being able to use one account at a time.

I was able to get two workers running well with three accounts

the setup says to use the same amount of workers as accounts you have added, i have 5 workers and 5 accounts and its working as atteneded

When I tried 3 acc and 3 workers it caused the DLs to fail every time
