Hello.
I've noticed that stream.input_stream.stream().read() command retrieves audio file by chunks, one by one, which takes time.
Is there a reason why it doesn't download the whole file?

It has already been implemented.
You can now get all streams by entering a number less than or equal to 0 in the read argument.
Please refer to the following code.

@kokarare1212 I tried entering 0, but seems like it is already a default value.

What I see is this:

43 chunks are processed one by one.
Is it possible to process the whole file at once?

I'm sure it's technically possible but I don't think this is realistic because it will be slow to retry when network or other errors occur.
The upstream librespot-java also uses the current method.
