Expected Behavior vs Actual Behavior

Output parameter didn't work using spotdl sync. (Also other parameters didn't work like bitrate or config)
I would like to use the output parameter because some musics are made by the same artist with the same title but not the same album (And it break my music library)

Steps to reproduce - Ensure to include actual links!

1. Sync an artist
2. See the problem if the artist have two musics called the same but not in the same album
3. Try to change the output parameter
4. See how it didn't work using spotdl sync

Traceback

SpotDL works completely fine lol

Just to be clear, --output does not work as intended when using spotdl sync?

[Piripe]

Yep, that's right

Well, I was running some tests, and this is what I did:

1. Run spotdl sync [a playlist url] --save-file sync.spotdl on my documents folder inside a test_songs folder.
2. Remove a song from the playlist and run spotdl sync sync.spotdl --output "C:\Users\My Username\Desktop\Tests

The updated playlist was indeed downloaded in the specified path. Not sure if that is what you were trying to do when you found the bug. If you could tell me more details that would be very appreciated.

I want to use the output parameter as file name format. (To organize my musics in multiple folders)

I'm using this command line spotdl sync musics.sync.spotdl --output "{artist}/{album}/{title}.{output-ext}" --bitrate 320k

I also mentioned in my initial post that the bitrate parameter wasn't work. (The output files are in 128k)

I was having the same issue. It seems while it is read in the default is never getting updated. I didn't have a lot of time to figure out where it was going wrong but a temp fix is just update the default in:

https://github.com/spotDL/spotify-downloader/blob/master/spotdl/utils/config.py

to whatever you want and it will get used.

@Piripe
Can you please confirm if this has been fixed in rc3?

Update your spotDL to the latest release candidate:
python -m pip install -U pip pip install -U --force spotdl==4.0.0rc3

[Piripe]

Yes, it's now working fine
