Download playlists into single folder

[DistortedVision]

Whenever I download a playlist, qobuz-dl creates a folder for each track named as the album it was taken from.

Is there a way so it downloads into a single folder and so the track numbering is preserved?

Use the folder format -ff argument and provide . e.g.

qobuz-dl dl <playlist url> -q <quality> -ff '.' -tf '{tracknumber}. {artist} - {tracktitle}' --no-db --no-m3u

It'll download all files into a single directory with the playlist name, numbered by the position on the playlist (not the original album track #). I just hit this issue when building a Yoto card playlist for my kid.

I get an error. Unless I've misunderstood what you wrote:

"Use the folder format -ff argument and provide . e.g."

Wondering if I'm supposed to replace the "." with something.

not sure about windows, try doublequotes 🤷🏼‍♂️

Double quotes didn't work either.

Thanks for sharing @rhemz was looking for something like this for playlists. I'm on Windows PowerShell and command runs without error, but I'm not getting the playlist index in the filename when I use this command, and when downloading a playlist as files in one folder flattened the cover.jpg aliases and makes all songs have the first track's album art. Curious if there are workarounds? For this use case it would be safe to erase cover.jpg after each song downloads (can probably figure out where to post-download hook that in.

Works for me too in PowerShell. But I think I'm having the same issue as bgonz808 if I understood his post correctly. The track numbers in the filenames are messed up.
