Hi! You just need to generate a config file and change the output_dir field. Just follow the following steps:

Generate a config file if you havent already by running:

somedl --generate-config`

It should tell you something like Generating config in C:\Users\<Your User>\AppData\Roaming\SomeDL\somedl_config.toml (if you are on windows for example). Follow this path and open the file. (Tip: It is definitely possible to do this in Windows Notepad, but since Notepad doesnt have any syntax highlighting, i recommend using a text editor like Notepad++ if you have that. Not necessary, but makes the whole file way easier to navigate).

In the somedl_config.toml, look for the output_dir field. Everything an # is just a comment that tells you what the field dose (Notepad++ does grey them out for better visibility). Change output_dir = "." to your desired folder path with forward slashes `output_dir = "C:/Users//my_music_folder".

# Directory to save downloaded songs to.
# Default: "." (folder the command is called from)
# Always use forward slashes "/", even on Windows. Do not use backslashes
# Example on Windows: C:/Users/vboxuser/Music (NOT C:\Users\vboxuser\Music)
output_dir = "."

Save the file and test if its works by downloading a song. If there is any problem, just reach out here.

In case you also want your music to be sorted into folders like artist/album/song, artist/album or something similar, set that template in your output field (Just below output_dir):

# File naming template for downloaded songs.
#
# Default: "{artist} - {song}"
#
# Use forward slashes to sort songs into subfolders (Do not use backslashes!).
# Example:  "{album_artist}/{year} - {album}/{track_pos} - {song}"
# Example:  "{album_artist}/{album}/{artist} - {song}"
# Example:  "{album_artist}/{artist} - {song}"
#
# Required placeholders (must be included!):
#  {artist} or {album_artist}   Song artist, performer or band. 
#                               -> Use {album_artist} if you only want to avoid songs with featuring artist being split up into different folders
#  {song}                       Song title
#
# Optional additional placeholders:
#  {album}          Album title
#  {year}           Release date of the song in YYYY
#  {track_pos}      Track position within the album
#  {track_count}    Total number of tracks in the album
output = "{artist} - {song}"
