@chhawkins2001 I have tested your commit and looks like you missed off a file.

import ytm ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ytm'

I think that I’ve found where the issue is. The __query_and_simplify() function in provider.py is not returning anything, no matter the input (from my tests)

When it didn’t return anything for the whole set of queries (whether that was an album, playlist, or a single track), the code tried to delete the .spotdltrackingfile that didn’t exist (hence the nonetype error)

Now, I’m not sure what all is supposed to be returned in the list<dict> from that function, but I found a possible api replacement at https://python-youtube-music.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ (on github at https://github.com/tombulled/python-youtube-music), it actually works to return a list of possible suggestions, although I find that it is lacking in the metadata department, so choosing a best fit may be harder if the algorithm relies on that.

I’ll try to integrate it tonight and see what happens

I’m a dummie when it comes to python and github. How can I get this fixed version? pip install https://codeload.github.com/spotDL/spotify-downloader/zip/master seems to give me 3.1.4 with still the same error.

Fixed it without the need for a new dependency
