Currently, if I download a playlist it puts everything in the folder structure that I configured but under the playlist name as a root folder. It would be great if I can choose whether those downloads go in the root or under a playlist folder.

I think it would be better if everything were downloaded in your defined structure to avoid duplicates and just create .m3u8 playlist files.

This would be perfect. The same happens with artists. If I have defined {artist}/{album} and I download directly from the artist profile, it will download it at {artist}/{artist}/{album}.

A workaround that is solving this for me is to set a custom path and put ../{artist}/{album}. This way, the playlist/artist folder will be created anyways, but the songs will download under {artist}/{album}.
