Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/spotipy-dev/spotipy/issues/480

Spotipy doesnt use the correct uri when using the user_playlist_add_tracks() method, even when explictly set

using the following code (the playlist and user ids don't seem to be part of the problem)
sp.user_playlist_add_tracks( user['id'], playlist['id'], 'spotify:track:1c1Okhc1Ubk2bHGvxrNAim,spotify:track:3cLsdnXjn3vtNQBzJXtPGH')

returns the following error log

ERROR:spotipy.client:HTTP Error for POST to https://api.spotify.com/v1/users/3f8k783hsz6m24pkhua5bl23o/playlists/0ZkTdVvn83jQW8LkIfNbkO/tracks returned 400 due to Invalid track uri: spotify:track:s

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

and then finally ending with a exit code 1

Have you tried to put the ids in a list? Like so:

sp.user_playlist_add_tracks(user['id'], playlist['id'], 
                            ['spotify:track:1c1Okhc1Ubk2bHGvxrNAim', 'spotify:track:3cLsdnXjn3vtNQBzJXtPGH'])
