After download, Folder contains only one file from the 15;

seems to do it every time with this album, have also noticed on some other albums it give success messages but in reality the odd track is actually missing from the album. will be the same tracks missing every time

this seems to be linked to sometimes getting corrupt files, where metadata cannot be written. looks like its downloading the file, trying to set the metadata, failing and then deleting the file.
(but marking it as downloaded)

if the files are available on one of the other services, you can sucesfully download them by manually setting the Source in settings. this will only work IF one of the other sources can provide 'good' files (not corrupt) - this doesnt work with the album ive used as an example of this
