Python throws an error

[joshaconnor]

This isn't exactly a bug, as the files downloaded as far as I can tell, but here is the output of the command which seems to show an error. I am not sure what it is, and I don't have time to debug too much at the moment, but I thought I would let you know in case it is helpful for you.

I downloaded a book from Chirp, if that helps.

Looks like Chirp doesn't always use mp3 files which breaks some stuff when adding metadata to the files afterwards. I will see what I can do about it.

Interesting, the resulting files were mp3, I wonder if VLC is just interpreting the internals of the file instead of the file extension. But I do notice that the cover image isn't present in those folders, that could also be part of it.
