I am facing the same problem. I tried removing those failed entries from .song_ids and .song_archive but no luck.

i had a few escape \M problems with the same line from your traceback.
try to replace this in track.py (line 190):
c = len([file for file in Path(filedir).iterdir() if re.search(f'^{filename}_', str(file))]) + 1
with:
c = len([file for file in Path(filedir).iterdir() if re.search(fr'^{re.escape(str(filename))}_', str(file))]) + 1

it's the special characters it can't write to the filename (: is the problem here probably - you can't have a filename with : or ? for example). this will remove them from the filename so the file can be created but leave the tags correctly written.
i can confirm i can download it.

edit: you could also add
--output "D:/Music/Dreamcatcher - Apocalipse From us/{track_number}.{ext}"
at the end of your command, where you point to your download directory, name the album manually and write only track number in the desired directory. that should also write the files correctly. you can then use mp3tag or some other similar software to rename them as you usually do.

same issue here with

I've hit into this. Here is an example of an album that might trigger it...

Ends up happening on track 2 for this one for me but it might be different for others. If it triggers it does so consistently. What I usually end up doing is adding --root-path . so that it tries to the current folder then it works just fine. I'll move that folder to where it is supposed to go and it doesn't give any fits moving either.

Bro thank you so much, this did it for me!
