Expected Behavior vs Actual Behavior

The intended result was downloading the song (https://open.spotify.com/track/4mx756ehrFAIky4IeJKOUa?si=3e8522577f4f4fe1) to an mp3 format

Instead got an HeaderNotFoundError: can't sync to MPEG frame error even though the song is available to play in my region

Steps to reproduce - Ensure to include actual links!

1. open command prompt
2. run the spotdl https://open.spotify.com/track/4mx756ehrFAIky4IeJKOUa?si=3e8522577f4f4fe1 command

this is when i get the error
