Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/afkarxyz/SpotiFLAC/issues/12

im getting the following log for a few specific songs from a playlist i want to download all the time (the below is just an example for Take on Me - a-ha):

Starting download (35/2089): Take on Me - a-ha
Getting track from Qobuz with ISRC: USWB19901214
Download progress: 100.00% (26.56MB/26.56MB)
Failed to download: Take on Me - a-ha
Error: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified: 'D:/Kanva/Lossless/SPOTIFLAC\download\A-Ha - Take on Me.flac' -> 'D:/Kanva/Lossless/SPOTIFLAC\download\a-ha - Take on Me.flac

A majority of the songs are being downloaded normally but a set of specific songs are getting this error message every single time (i've tried three times so far)

The download location might have been entered incorrectly. Try using the browse feature instead of entering it manually.

i did use the browse feature. and a majority of the songs are being downloaded fine. anyway, i will try downloading just that singular song and see what happens and then update here.

Make sure the path format is like this, consistently using / instead of .

Update: tried downloading using Tidal (API) and it worked! It's just qobuz that's not working. But I do hate that when downloading with Tidal (API) it doesn't add all the metadata like the date of release for example.

I will check the Tidal API again; I might have forgotten to include the release date.
