I have tried to see information with Unleashed album by Two Steps From Well and I don't know why the items are only 50 if the songs are 56. (Sorry for my english)

Spotify API returns the first page and each page contains maximum 50 songs. To fetch rest of the songs, you need fetch more pages.

I do something like this to workaround this problem: github.com/ritiek/spotify-downloader@0a3b7bd7d8/core/spotify_tools.py (L162-L181)

So, you might have to structure your code something like this:

while True:
    for track in tracks['items']:
        # do stuff with track
        print(track)
    # 1 page = 50 results
    # check if there are more pages
    if track['next']:
        tracks = spotify.next(tracks)
    # if no more pages, exit while loop
    else:
        break

If you're still facing problems, share your code here and we'll try to figure out. Remember to remove your credentials.

(P.S. Your english is pretty good :)

Thanks very much for the answer, maybe you will be happy know that I have used your spotify-dowloader some time ago.
