having few issues with this nice script i am hoping there's a simple fix,
the main issue all files on my playlist are saved by default to c:\windows\system32,
is there a way to specify path to save downloaded files in?
next issue i am having is with metadata,
my username on Spotify is used as the "artist",
for "album" data my playlist name is used,
and in "comment" field the url for YouTube where the song was fetched from is saved,
the same album cover artwork is saved with each song (which is the artwork file for the playlist on spotify).

Hi, you will have to modify the link variable. You can find all the available options here

// Modify Path to spotdl
var link = "C:\\Users\\fboug\\OneDrive\\Belgeler\\spotify-dl\\spotdl " + url + " --output /some/other/path \npause";
