I created a youtube downloader that converts videos into .mp3. Moreover, I added the possiblity to name the artist and the song and state a directory into which the file is downloaded.
Everything works fine but the file is always saved into Python's current working directory and not into the selected path file_loc.
I also noticed removing this part (which is intended to name the file) from the downloader-function causes Python to output the file in the correct directory.
global label_artist, label_song
name = label_artist.get() + " - " + label_song.get()
print(name)
Can someone please help me?

Problem is that you create new_file without file_loc
... and because os.rename can move file to other folder if you use different folders in source and destination path.
Code video.download(file_loc) downloads file to expected folder file_loc but when you run os.rename(downloaded_file, new_file) then new_name is without file_loc and rename moves it to current working directory.
You should create
new_file = os.path.join(file_loc, name + '.mp3')
You can see this problem if you use
print(downloaded_file)
print(new_file)
downloaded_file will have /full/path/to/file_loc/movie.mp4
but new_file will have only artist - song.mp3
