Logged in failed: BAD_USERNAME_OR_PASSWORD

Hey, I just tried to use this tool, but got a login error:
Logged in failed: BAD_USERNAME_OR_PASSWORD

I'm pretty certain I'm using the correct password.
I'm signed up to Spotify using my Facebook account.

Command line:
$ spotify-ripper
--normalized-ascii
--flat
--flac
--comp 5
-k <some_spotify_appkey.key>
-u my@emailaddress.com
spotify:user:1234:playlist:abc

Does anybody else have the same issue?

When did you get your API token? They haven't been giving new ones out for the old API this tool uses for about a year.

[thowi]

Good point. The API token might be rather old.
I might try another one and see if it works.

Ultimately it means though that they will all expire eventually, right?
And given that no new ones will be handed out, this tool will stop working entirely, eventually.

I tried a few different API key files, but I get BAD_USERNAME_OR_PASSWORD for all of them.
Possibly they're all expired, but I can't know for sure.

@thowi the few i've tried arent working either. going to have to search through all the ripping libraries to get this working again
