Thanks for sharing this, can you please try running the app as admin? For windows, that would require opening the terminal/command line as admin and then running spoti-dl.

Thank you, I was able to download the desired sound source! However, when I tried to download another sound source, the problem occurred again. Here is the contents of the log file.

Okay, I see. I will look into this. Thanks for reporting this issue.

@nethakha Hey, sorry for the late update -- was having issues with my systems and hence was unable to build the Windows version of the app for a long time. Can you please update the app to version 2.1.2 -- it should fix your issue now. python3 -m pip install --upgrade spoti-dl==2.1.2 or pip install --upgrade spoti-dl==2.1.2 is what you need to do, might need adjustments since python setup can vary from system to system.

Thanks for the update. I tried it but it did not work.

Below is the log.

I don't know if this is related, but it appears that the ". seems to have been removed from the file name. The name of the song is "futuring Prod.Morning Lemon", but in the log it is "futuring ProdMorning Lemon".

I hope the problem will be resolved.

Oh right, that could be the case. I'll look into this when time permits, and get back to you. Could you please share the song link(s) that caused you the trouble?

[nethakha]

This song. https://open.spotify.com/intl-ja/track/5amIghCsQS7andDFxrvNi3?si=2914aaee57ba4b4d

[dhruv-ahuja]

Could you share what command are you using exactly, and the path to the dl folder (running just cd in your terminal will show the path)? I tried downloading the same song on my windows machine and had no issues there. There might be some permission issues, can you try downloading the song in some other drive other than the c: drive?

The . (and other characters) in the song name is replaced to avoid any issues when creating files, so that's not the issue here.

[nethakha]

I tried the following three commands.

spoti-dl spotify:track:5amIghCsQS7andDFxrvNi3
spoti-dl https://open.spotify.com/intl-ja/track/5amIghCsQS7andDFxrvNi3
spoti-dl https://open.spotify.com/intl-ja/album/6tAqWourYOmhQikvkEzwk3

The dl folder is located directly under the user directory.

C:\Users\tokut\dl

I tried executing it by specifying a download destination to a drive other than the C drive, but the result did not change.
