Requested Feature

How do I download all singles of an artist?

Possible implementation

Download all songs by the artist, using the spotify artist link, and then separate out the singles from the folder. eg: spotdl https://open.spotify.com/artist/6RQZSQjI4u2t4TwzpyE821

When we get the metadata from the Artist, we have the album_type field which can be used to filter out the songs. I will implement it in the following week. We can pass the --album-type through CLI for that. Example output from the Artist metadata:
