Hi,
I downloaded the standalone version, set the password, and clicked on the transfer button in Chrome.

This results in the following output from playify-transfer.exe:

Not quite sure what to do about that, apart from trying to go the "install Python" route.

[Gnarfoz]

Actually, getting the same thing when going the manual route (albeit under WSL):

Is my browser speaking something it doesn't understand?

[Gnarfoz]

Just noticed that in both cases, 1 request results in two exception messages. Updated both posts.

Maybe one of your songs or artist has a very special character in their name, or there is just a general issue with the Websocket server library. Could you send me the link of your playlist please, so I can try to reproduce the issue?

[Gnarfoz]

Sure, this is the playlist: https://open.spotify.com/user/21a7x2jo6avw7bxvyqhfjpndy/playlist/7a3XA3YED6WcIvLuzwW83x?si=ZVN6_nBRSQm219LgkblprQ

Looks like the most exotic character is a boring old "é".

[krmax44]

Very weird, the conversion works without a problem for me...

At work, using the standalone 1.0 version, on Windows 1607, I don't get these errors, because it doesn't work for a different reason:
It is not proxy aware at all and tries to open a direct connection to Google. 😢

The assumption here is "no data = no error", though.
No idea if it would work with direct internet access.

I can't install the current master version for comparison, since on this older Windows/WSL/Ubuntu 14.04/Python 3.4, the dependencies fail to install (pip errors trying to install gmusicapi -> MechanicalSoup -> pytest-runner.
