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!
