Very large file size

[Malthdk]

Hi. First of all: awesome repo 🤩
Im getting a very large file size for each downloaded track (around 2.15GB). I tried both downloading in 320k bitrate and 160k bitrate. Is there some configuration param im missing?

Im downloading from apple music..

Same issue here.

Are you on macOS? If so, see - #469 & #437.

Download the appropriate binary from here then: miraclx/atomicparsley/releases/latest

I had the same problem, but interestingly only on my internal SSD — if the download directory was on an external volume it didn't happen (although the metadata include is much slower).

BTW you can "rescue" the oversize files with Permute conversion to M4A files.

AtomicParsely build dropped in /usr/local/bin did the trick — just had to open it manually in Finder 1x to clear the unsigned binary warning.

@Malthdk, feel free to close this issue once you confirm the AtomicParsley patch works for you

The AtomicParsely patch did the trick! Thanks 🙌
