Problem

Some songs get randomly deleted even though the terminal output seems ok.
Sideinfo: Version 3.9 (newest). Source: Tidal.

Terminal output (two songs, same output)

Failed to download: You_name_it_2
Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/somewhere/You_name_it_2' -> '/somewhere/You_name_it_2'

Problem source

I think the problem is in line 232 - 242 of the SpotiFLAC.py

if downloaded_file == new_filepath: 
    self.progress.emit(f"File already exists: {new_filename}", 0)
    self.progress.emit(f"Skipped: {track.title} - {track.artists}", 
                int((i + 1) / total_tracks * 100))
    continue

if os.path.exists(downloaded_file) and downloaded_file != new_filepath:
    if os.path.exists(new_filepath):
        os.remove(new_filepath)
    os.rename(downloaded_file, new_filepath)
    self.progress.emit(f"File renamed to: {new_filename}", 0)

When i comment out the ..

    if os.path.exists(new_filepath):
        os.remove(new_filepath)

.. the song won't be deleted and I don't get an [Errno 2] exeption.

PS:
The if downloaded_file == new_filepath: doesn't work too. There is no skipping at this point.

Easy fix (i didn't debug the down/new_file comparison. Maybe it can be removed)

No missing file, no problemo.

if downloaded_file == new_filepath: 
    continue

if os.path.exists(downloaded_file) and downloaded_file != new_filepath:
    os.rename(downloaded_file, new_filepath)
    self.progress.emit(f"File renamed to: {new_filename}", 0)

I hope this helps
