add an --override-track-link option to help guiding spotdl to the right songs.

[P6g9YHK6]

Requested Feature

To help with the mess of wrong music downloaded or music not found i propose something like this: spotdl download https://open.spotify.com/playlist/XXXX --override-track-link https://open.spotify.com/track/XXXXXXX=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-DSP2hhJoA https://open.spotify.com/track/YYYYYYY=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-DSP2hhJoA

If we could specify that a certain "run" of spotdl have the forced track/ytlink association, it would help a lot squashing some of the misses of spotdl

an alternative would be to specify a text file containing the list of associations and it would make it easier to share and do a community repository of matches and have everyone pitching in to share their own findings, this could be very successfull. spotdl download https://open.spotify.com/playlist/XXXX --override-track-link "matches.txt"

Possible implementation

Hey, you should be able to do something like this: spotdl download <spotify_album_url> <youtube_song_url>|<spotify_song_url> This should associate the Youtube URL for the respective song in that album.

Matching correct songs is a very complex task, not all songs can be matched, but we try our best
