I can reproduce for this and several other songs, with and without Spotify links. I can't seem to use it for anything.

The Spotify based name search is bad. That's the reason no matche is found.

Spotify song search is not coded by us we use a default Spotify API there is nothing much we can do about it.

Try using shorter song queries

It is not only the search function. Other spotify link dont not work also.
Clean install in an reset ubuntu VM same problem.

I don't think it is only me having this problem, Dont understand why you close the issue.

@yinshiyi Don't put the track link in quotes.
run spotdl https://open.spotify.com/track/YOURTRACKHERE
(spotdl $trackUrl)

@yinshiyi Oh i looked at yours again. Yours is "as no match could be found on youtube", while THIS issue is for "no match on spotify. You have a different issue, see #1039
