I’m trying to download a complete artist discography using spotdl but getting tons of AudioProviderError messages.

What I tried:

Updated both yt-dlp and spotdl to latest versions

Tried different audio providers (youtube-music)

Used different threading options (–threads 1 --headless)

Changed VPN locations (USA, Netherlands, Switzerland)

Attempted album-by-album downloads instead of full artist

Using cookies from youtube and youtube music

Ive tried everything i knew but without sucess, can yall help me out?

AudioProviderError: YT-DLP download error - for every song
