  1. You have to listen to the entire track to download it!
  2. when you are listening to a song, there is this like heart button which is only available for "liked songs". In my experience it was way better when this heart was green regardless if it is in the "liked" playlist or any other playlist. Like so you would know how to organize better. If not, there could be a different button with a "Like" checkmark for "liked" songs playlists and have the heart button left alone for the rest of the playlists, but the first example that I provided in the beginning is way better.
  3. You don't have the ignore track button beside the heart button like the official one was on Spotify. In my opinion this is a huge downgrade since now you have to click the 3 dots menu on the right side of the track to select "ignore"

OR. I would like to press on the heart button and be able to chose any playlist that I want to add the song to to, like in the vanilla version.

Yeah other than that, only the fact that there is no download button on the status bar when you are playing the track and you have to wait for the full song to play in order to download it, and it is like WHY?? Why would you want to play the full song? Makes no sense. Are you at least trying to give the artist 1 play stat for the "excue me, piracy" scene? ...
Yeah I don't get it.
Do these 3 and it's over.

WAIT. Ignore track doesn't actually do anything but NEVER DOWNLOAD YOUR TRACK if you have it selected?? Bro.... What?????
Hell nah, that is a major downgrade.
Brind the ignore track to do what it is supposed to do.
I want to press that button for a reason, Skip that song and never have it recommended again. This feature was extremely useful in Discover weekly for me personally.

I'm reverting back to normal and use alterante variants of software until those features get changed or rather fixed I would say. There are spotify downloaders out there. Maybe this version is safer but still, it kinda deafeats the features that the vanilla spotify has and people are accustomed to. This is THE MAIN problem that I've seen in all of those app variants. You get rid of the good vanilla features. WHY???

The song has to played in its entirely because it's reading the audio that Spotify is playing - it can't get the audio without it being played by Spotify. As far as I know, there aren't ways to download songs directly from Spotify that don't do this - any that claim to do it are usually ripping it from Youtube instead. The other two points you brought up are out of Soggfy's control; they're Spotify changing its features (including "experimental" features such as the Ignore Track button, which Soggfy just re-enables).

Just play at 50x speed with Spotify muted, problem solved. Downloaded my 1700 song playlist pretty quickly

May get you banned though, because Spotify can actually detect if you play the songs faster.
