I love Zotify and it's really helped me rebuild my music collection. It usually does a good job of grabbing full albums, but occasionally it will grab radio edits instead of album versions.

It does this silently so I find out later while listening, and Beets doesn't seem to catch it.

Anyone have a solution for this? There doesn't appear to be any flag for explicit/radio or similar that I can see.

How did you get Spotify auth to work? I’ve tried a number of things and can’t get zotify to get past authentication failure.

Are you sure that this is not a Spotify issue?

I think that it's an underlying Spotify issue for sure, namely that an album is often present as an explicit and censored version. But I feel like Zotify should be able to deal with this.

While songs show up in Zotify with the [E] you usually just see multiple copies of the album without any identifiers. One of these will be the "real" album, but there doesn't seem to be a way to filter the others.
