Spotafree downloads the Music Video version instead of the CD version of the track

Music Video version sometimes contains sound effects from the video itself.

That is because the app uses YouTube for searching the wanted song. And yt-dl doesn't allow / is not configurated to take the official audio version or any other "audio only" version.
As far as I was able to track it down, spotafree uses the default settings of youtube-dl and that means, I believe, using the video with the best quality.
Maybe it would be possible to add some kind of customization or reduce the priority for "official video" links. Since it should be mostly automatic it is not that easy to do.

You can chick this out.
I made one which uses YouTube yet find YouTube Music version to download them.
