Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/spotipy-dev/spotipy/issues/771

I am trying to add tracks into a my own playlist. When I execute the code I get this error:
HTTP Error for POST to https://api.spotify.com/v1/playlists/(playlistID)/tracks with Params: {'position': None} returned 400 due to Invalid track uri: spotify:track:3
I guess it sends only the first character of the id of the song (in this case is 3).
Here is my code:

`
import spotipy
from spotipy.oauth2 import SpotifyOAuth
sp = spotipy.Spotify(auth_manager=SpotifyOAuth(client_id="(client_id)",
client_secret="(client_secret)",
redirect_uri="http://localhost:8080",
scope="user-library-read playlist-modify-public"))

t = '(trackID)'
print(sp.playlist_add_items('(playlistID)', t))
`

Have you got some hint?
Thanks in advice.

You need to pass a list to playlist_add_items, so playlist_add_items(["spotify:track:3xxxxxx"])
