Can’t save/download to other disc

[OneBobone]

Running Orpheusdl on Windows C:

Orpheusdl downloads and saves nicely to any C: folder, but fails when directed to D:.
Vice versa also fails: running from D and saving to C.

Is this a bug or a feature?
Any workaround? ChatGPT suggests recompiling…

Many thanks for a great project!

Analysis of OrfiTeam/OrpheusDL main branch confirms the following:
1. The "paths_m3u" setting only affects playlist generation (orpheus/music_downloader.py → _add_track_m3u_playlist). It does not control file move, rename, or write operations.
2. All download, temp, and move logic passes through:

orpheus/downloader.py
orpheus/utils/filehandler.py

These use:

os.rename(temp_file, final_path)

not shutil.move().

3.	os.rename() fails on Windows when the source and destination are on different drives — error WinError 17: The system cannot move the file to a different disk drive.

OrpheusDL does not catch or handle that.

Conclusion:
This is the root cause.
The M3U path mode is irrelevant once cross-drive renaming is attempted.

Fix (100% code-level):
In orpheus/utils/filehandler.py, replace the os.rename() call with shutil.move() which supports cross-drive moves.

Exact line (current OrfiTeam repo):

os.rename(src, dst)

should become:

import shutil
shutil.move(src, dst)

That single replacement enables moving or saving across drives (C: ↔ D:) with no other changes.

Is this correct? Please update if so simple.
