Expected Behaviour

1. I’m trying to download The Longest Johns’ Oak & Ash & Thorn, and expect that it downloads this video: https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=4GT59EqPlUQ&list=RDAMVM4GT59EqPlUQ.

• The program will convert the whole hour, which isn’t really a good thing to see since it’s really just a small song, therefore the system to search the song has a wrong download

1. I’m trying to download chumachechaya vesna/Чумачечая Весна and it doesn’t detect the Youtube Music link: https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=A-PjXUzhFDk&list=RDAMVMA-PjXUzhFDk

• The program will instead error out, and this is possibly actually due to its foreign characters being recognized. Translating it to English creates a “song not found” error on Spotify, and manually typing it creates a “song not found” on Youtube instead.

Actual Behaviour

For Oak & Ash & Thorn, it downloads this 1 hour video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIHmPlI4JEs For Chumachechaya Vesna, the song can’t be found.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Run “spotdl https://open.spotify.com/track/38FCXf9CTcH9MJKn3WsJ7x”
2. Run “spotdl https://open.spotify.com/track/2eaSMmKfigsm96aTUJMoIk”
