Is there a way to avoid the FileNotFoundError #28

I often get this error with some tracks and artists and excluding every time it happens is pretty annoying especially when you have to search the track number and restart the process until you find it.

@oorxx could you elaborate? Does this happen sporadically or while downloading playlists?

While downloading the likes of an artist some tracks are not found and it stops the download and gives a "FileNotFoundError", so what i do is that i look at the artist's folder to see how many tracks have been downloaded and exclude the next one, if 10 tracks have been downloaded the 11th one is the one that is not found, but it doesn't always work because when you do it multiple times it's not just the next song to download and you have to exclude the next track number and restart the download until the song is excluded and the downloads continue.

Can't the tool just automatically exclude the songs that it doesn't find without stopping and give a list of them at the end of the process?
