All of the resulting downloads do not have genre metadata. I have verified with mediainfo and exiftool just to be safe.

Never mind, it seems to be working for some songs just like spotDL/yt-dlp. Makes sense as Spotify doesn't have genre metadata for each song. Genre embedding works fine, I'm just slow. Thank you for this amazing tool!
