Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/jpochyla/psst/issues/288

Describe the bug
So here I am sitting with a playlist of 700+ tracks, wondering why Psst can not add more songs to it.
Seems like I have reached some sort of fetch limit of the Spotify API?

The last song displayed is the 550th song in that list.

To Reproduce
Add 550 songs and another one to a playlist. 551 should not be displayed in that playlist.

Expected behavior
Some sort of API paging that fetches all songs.

Environment

OS: Linux
Version: Latest master branch build

It seems this also applies to the "Liked Songs" playlist, which seems to be called "Saved Tracks" in psst. I couldn't find a way to count the songs that are shown, but it's much less than in the official client (~2700).

I have a list of over 2000 (the entirety of my music, just for shuffle library purposes) and judging on Spotify page's count, my last track is also the 550th.

Same issue here. As a workaround, I increased the pagination limit from 500 to 2000 (adjust the maximum to your needs). There's a TODO comment at the corresponding location, so it appears to be a known issue.

Until a better way of handling paginated items is implemented, #394 added a config option to set the amount of tracks that can be loaded.
