Launch Sidify and click "Settings" in the upper right corner, where you can choose how you'd like the output files to be organized - "Artist/Album", "Artist", "Album", "Album/Artist" or "None".

9. The volume of some converted songs are lower than the volume of original ones. Is there any way to improve it?

If you want to download the songs in full volume, we suggest you change the setting in Spotify. The most important thing is to uncheck the "Set the same volume level for all songs“ box in Spotify.
