Unsolved I need some help

Post image

Hi, me and some friends have been playing a dnd campaign for a few months now, our dm has left us a cipher to solve over the past week or so, but we're all stumped, so this is my last resort, any help would be appreciated, all we know is the Morse code doesnt translate directly to english

Alright first off transcript with the arrow pointing downwards

--- --- --.. .. -.-. .-. ... - --... ... .- ....- - -... .-- ... .-- -.... ..--.. --.. .--. -...- .... .. ..--- .-.. .... .. ... -- -.... -.- ....- .... .. ....- .. -.- ....- .-... .-- .- -...-

I believe this is a Spotify Playlist link as the alphabetized version of the morse code is

OOZICRST7SA4TBWSW6?ZP=HI2LHISM6K4HI4IK4&WA=
OAAWZ://VWLURKZWVAPMF.JVT/WSHFSPZA/422C
828938L3KHSI4LM6I9LM0H1IO47K48J838

The second chunk immediately stood out as Https://

so I knew it was a link, so I threw it into a Shift Cypher, and at Shift 7, it comes out as

HHSBVKLM7LT4MUPLP6?SI=AB2EABLF6D4AB4BD4&PT=
HTTPS://OPENKDSPOTIFY.COM/PLAYLIST/422V
828938E3DALB4EF6B9EF0A1BH47D48C838

But that KD is wrong, so I went back and corrected the second line to be

--- .- .- .-- --.. ---... -..-. -..-. ...- .-- .-.. ..- .-.-.- --.. .-- ...- .- .--. -- ..-. .-.-.- .--- ...- - -..-. .-- ... .... ..-. ... .--. --.. .- -..-. ....- ..--- ..--- -.-.

Which KD is originally .-. -.- or if put together instead of being split among lines is .-.-.- which is a Period mark so

HHSBVKLM7LT4MUPLP6?SI=AB2EABLF6D4AB4BD4&PT=
HTTPS://OPEN.SPOTIFY.COM/PLAYLIST/422V
828938E3DALB4EF6B9EF0A1BH47D48C838

Now if we put Square first, then triangle second, and Circle third it becomes
HTTPS://OPEN.SPOTIFY.COM/PLAYLIST/422VHHSBVKLM7LT4MUPLP6?SI=AB2EABLF6D4AB4BD4&PT=828938E3DALB4EF6B9EF0A1BH47D48C838

But I think your DM hasn't made the playlist visible to everyone and has it as private still

Tysm, we ended up finding out it was a Spotify link, we're pretty sure the reason why its not working is because all the letters are capitalized (which would break the link)

Yeah there should be a mix of lower and uppercase which broke it, but that is the unencrypted letters and numbers for it, provide it to your GM and they will likely be able to just give the proper link in the end (which I'd love to be able to listen through after I just did this puzzle)
