Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Googolplexed0/zotify/issues/4

I am trying to build up a local backup of my entire Spotify playlists, and I want all the songs that are a part of the album, each track is in.
I don't think this should be too hard, just make an album API call (pagination if total tracks is greater than 50), and download each of the tracks in the album. It should also work with all the parameters, most notably SKIP_EXISTING_FILES. You could also skip the extra API call and album download if the playlistTrackItems['track']['album']['total_tracks'] is equal to one. Or maybe have an option to skip album downloads based on playlistTrackItems['track']['album']['album_type'] is equal to "single" but in my experience that is often inaccurate, I think it is set by the publisher.
Thank you for your consideration!

I'll take a look at this later today. Seems like a feature that could be widely used. Might call it "Parent Album Mode" or something similar. If you have good name ideas let me know.

Hi, i noticed the tracks that aren't singles and belong to an album do not appear in the playlist directory.
Is this normal ? If so would it be possible to have the option to have the tracks appear both in the playlist and the album ?
Thank you
