Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/spotipy-dev/spotipy/issues/865

Describe the bug
A ValueError is thrown when calling recommendations with seed tracks:
ValueError: The truth value of an array with more than one element is ambiguous. Use a.any() or a.all()

Your code
recommendations = api.recommendations(seed_tracks=sample_tracks, limit=20)

Expected behavior
Return the recommendations

Output

File "/.../.venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages/spotipy/client.py", line 1631, in recommendations
    if seed_tracks:
ValueError: The truth value of an array with more than one element is ambiguous. Use a.any() or a.all()

Environment:

OS: Linux
Python version 3.8.10
spotipy version 2.20.0

Is sample_tracks a numpy array? If so, you need to convert it to a python list using list(sample_tracks) before you pass it into any methods in this library.
