Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/afkarxyz/SpotiFLAC/issues/121

I downloaded this and tried one random album. Here's the album link for reference:

https://open.spotify.com/album/1dWB676MYae7xa9lLTe7lS?si=KcPSNsYhQq6TKb73BGNw7g

It looks to consist of 10 tracks. There were 10 files downloaded and created.

Tracks 1, 2, 3, and 10 where named with .flac extension but they were 320kbps/44100 MP3 files.
Tracks 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 were named with .flac and appear to actually be flac files.

This makes it somewhat difficult to rename with MusicBrainz Picard due to having the wrong file extension. It would be much better to name the files correctly instead of appending .flac to every file downloaded.

@dgm816 commented on GitHub (Nov 27, 2025):

Actually, upon running it multiple times, it appears that sometimes it grabs MP3s and sometimes it grabs flac files. However, it still names the mp3 files with a .flac extension.
