Expected Behaviour

After Spotdl version 3 released, the application now uses Youtube Music. Now, I am downloading Chumachechaya Vesna, and the music should match both Spotify, Youtube Music and the offline one. (extra seconds notwithstanding).

Spotify link:
https://open.spotify.com/track/2eaSMmKfigsm96aTUJMoIk?si=Vj7CmhXxTzyYb5KexG-5Dg
Youtube Music match:

Actual Behaviour

Spotdl downloads this weird rock version of the song. Retrying can make Spotdl not spot the song at all.

Steps to Reproduce

1. spotdl https://open.spotify.com/track/2eaSMmKfigsm96aTUJMoIk?si=Vj7CmhXxTzyYb5KexG-5Dg

Any other information:

At least spotdl works now! And if only I wasn't that picky, and there's this alternative called ytmdl that didn't have to add extra seconds but can use other metadata locations, if it didn't decide to be OS-picky, I'd not report this.

Is there a way to specify which youtube video to download? So the app will take two url as input: 1) spotyfy link; 2) Youtube Link.

That functionality is not present in spotDL v3.

I see. Is there a reason why this is not present? Is that ok if I try to add this feature to soptDL v3?

[Silverarmor]

Have a read of our CORE VALUES and CODE GUIDELINES.

spotDL v3 was built to be simple and easy.

You can try add it, and open a PR - Note that as per code guidelines, it might not be accepted, since we only add features that will help the majority of spotDL users. You could open a feature request (under issues) to discuss this further)

Thanks. Turns out it has been requested earlier in #500.
