Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Googolplexed0/zotify/issues/169

Originally assigned to: @Googolplexed0 on GitHub.

Zotify Version
ToT efficient-api, 75641a6

Bug Description
When a playlist has a local file in it, zotify exits with fatal error.

It'd be nice if the local file(s) could be skipped, making bulk exporting easier (my work-around has been to duplicate the playlist then manually prune all local files).

Bug Triggering Command

Passing -p and specifying a playlist that contains a local file.

largest_image = max(playlist_resp[IMAGES], key=lambda img: img[WIDTH], default={URL: ""})
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable

I think this was fixed in new-hierarchy, change to that branch and see if this error still occurs there.

Yep, appears to be fixed on new-hierarchy. I see

###   SKIPPING:  " ... " (TRACK IS UNAVAILABLE)   ###

Thank you for the quick reply, and for maintaining this fork. I've used zotify to export 8500 songs and counting
