Some songs just return a 403 upon being downloaded

See original GitHub issue

Platform: Windows with the WSL2-backend for Docker (using Ubuntu as the distribution) Build: latest as of 15.04.2021.

So, for the most part, the downloading goes fine, but there are some songs that straight up refuse to be downloaded and I just get a ERROR: Can not download this song. Got a 403 every time I try. On the other hand, when downloading playlists, there are songs that fail at first, but work fine later on.

Here’s a couple of IDs of songs that fail constantly: 9125239, 8717671, 8454029.

The songs do play when I try them on the platform (both the web and Electron app).

Do you know why this might be? Let me know if I can provide more info, and thank you for the awesome app!

Thanks for the info! I guess all we can do is wait for someone with a HiFi subscription to try this out. Getting the MP3s will suffice for now. 😃

Trying with HiFi subscription account, issues are same.

Please check #66 for further information TLDR: right now, with a free subscription, downloading 128kbit/s mp3s should work (some 403s may occur).
