Expected Behavior vs Actual Behavior

So today I was listening to an album by K. and thought of downloading it as I am gonna listen to it multiple times. So I opened command prompt and spotdl [albumURL] --output-format flac --dt 16 Spotdl successfully fetched whole album and downloaded it. But as the 'tagging' process started I saw some glitch and a message popped up on the display: python has stopped working. So I thought of raising an issue so that our lovely developers/contributors can fix the issue. Being a normie, I am not even sure if it's spotdl's issue or python's issue. The album folder kinda looks like this now.

Anyway, I thought I should let you know guys. Love you, bless you. Ya'll are doin' God's work. Peace.

Steps to reproduce

print("I just started learning Python.")

Hi, your steps to reproduce don't look accurate! Can you confirm that this issue can happen again and again (is a reproducible issue) and can you send the EXACT command used (including album URL) here, or you can edit your original message? Sorry for the late response!

[Silverarmor]

Can you attempt it without changing the download threads? (--dt), your computer may not be able to handle it.

[mendelsphotography]

happend to me to what I did was and worked for me go and download python 10

[mendelsphotography]

after i did that no more issue so that's what i say to do the meanwhile

[Silverarmor]

spotDL does not support Python 3.10 due to wheel issues, on Windows it requires users to download vc++ build tools which is 4.5gb+.

When the wheels get updated for 3.10, spotDL will support it.

Hi Thank you for your reply. I tried it again and the issue occurred again specifically when I am trying to download two or more tracks at once. But while I am typing the same command for a single track it works just fine. But this time as I am outside of my home and low on mobile data, so didn't run my previous command fully as this would suck of 80% of mobile data at once. But I tried it with two tracks in default output format. Here is the screenshot. My previous command was spotdl https://open.spotify.com/album/4alcGHjstaALJHHiljfy3H?si=CQJhZCVIQIKWKvfUrMOwew --output-format flac --dt 16

And as you mentioned my steps don't look accurate, and always thought about that should I write the commands first and then the url or first the url and then the commands which is the right way? Can you please tell?

[Silverarmor]

???? Why are you doing spotdl "trackURL|trackURL", the pipe is only for specifying a youtube video to download a single song from.

1. Can you please update your spotDL, pip install -U spotdl
2. As I said above, please remove the --dt threads flag as your PC may be having issues.
3. Can you also refresh your spotDL cache Del .spotdl-cache

The command that you used is wrong.

It should be spotdl "url1" "url2" Not spotdl "url1|url2"

[c00ldude69]

Hi @Silverarmor, thank you for replying. I tried without the downloading thread but the problem remains same.

[c00ldude69]

The command that you used is wrong.

It should be spotdl "url1" "url2" Not spotdl "url1|url2"

But that is how the command is written there on the README.md page no?

[xnetcat]

No

Closing as issue seems to be resolved, user has not gotten back.
