Generate m3u playlist files and reuse existing downloads across playlists

[timkgh]

It is nice that zotify can detect tracks that have already been downloaded, but it would be nice to generate m3u playlists that point to common files.

Or on platforms that support it (Linux, macOS, maybe even Windows) use symlinks to point to the existing downloads. Many playlists have overlaps, in particular with the Liked Songs, so it would be nice to preserve the playlist structure in some form.

Or have a command line flag to just fetch a playlist metadata and save it as an m3u file. Then one could download all playlists in a single folder and just reconstruct the playlists with m3u files.

Fwiw, EXTM3U or PLS might be better formats than M3U, though not sure how well supported by players they are. Of course, zotify could output all/either of them, user's choice.
