Since yesterday, when I use cookies to download music in high quality, the music still downloads in the same standard quality. I investigated and tried using a command in ytdlp to download audio with cookies, but it also didn't work. Upon further investigation, I found that ytdlp now requires PO tokens to download high-quality audio from YouTube using my premium account cookies. I’m not sure if the issue is specific to my setup, but when I use PO tokens together with cookies in ytdlp, I can download high-quality music without any issues. However, I haven’t found any information on how to use PO tokens with spotdl.
Steps to reproduce - Ensure to include actual links!
Unfortunately running into this issue as well, and the annoying part is there is no indication that it is failing or ability to stop it from downloading a lesser-quality file. Would be nice if when this is resolved to also add a config option to "fail" if premium quality isn't available

This command worked well for me on ytdlp --extractor-args "youtube:player_client=web_music,default;po_token=web_music+TOKENGOESHERE" the only hard part is to get po token.
