Add argument for downloading songs without creating floder

[XuliGan4eg2006]

I suggest adding a parameter for downloading tracks without creating a folder and a parameter for a custom track name

[dagolinuxoid]

Yeah! I often download a single tracks rather than playlists, so it would be nice to put just tracks into specified path without wrapping them into an additional folder.

[Spagett1]

Yeah this would be really useful.

@XuliGan4eg2006 @Laar3 @dagolinuxoid where would you prefer to have the file saved? Same place as where you invooked spotify-dl from?

To a specific directory, which can be specified by passing a parameter with the path

[SathyaBhat]

you can do that currently with -o parameter

[XuliGan4eg2006]

you can do that currently with -o parameter

and he will create a folder with the song, and it is necessary that only the song (without the folder)

[SathyaBhat]

Got it 👍🏼

As xuligan said I mean that it should just put the song in the folder without creating a folder Inside that folder fo rthe song.

I'm having an issue where the playlist I'm trying to download has emojis in it so it fails to create the directory. Can I just download it to the dir specified with -o ?

Unfortunately not, it would try to create a sub-directory with the name of the playlist

@mrchrisster can you link me to a playlist which has an emoji in it?

I think forcing a folder creation actually makes it so the overwrite method doesn't work because you're always downloading to an empty file.
