When downloading a few songs, they get stuck "Querying info..." and never continue. Most songs work fine but it is per song as to if it works, taking it out of the queue and trying again repeats the behavior. An example song I can't get to work would be Checkmate - Casey Lee Williams
Expected Behavior
All songs should be able to download smoothly.
Steps to reproduce
- Select download button on Checkmate - Casey Lee Williams
- Check download queue to see it stuck indefinitely at "Querying info..."

- [ ] I'm ready to work on this issue!
+1 For some reason OP's song isn't available to me so I can't check, but I've had this issue with several other tracks (interestingly, well over half the tracks that had this issue had a swear word in the song title, which may be noteworthy) on macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 with v3.7.1
examples:
- F*** tha Police - NWA
- Who the F*** are Arctic Monkeys - Arctic Monkeys
- F*** That - Death Grips
... you get the idea...
Ya Checkmate got taken down, that's why I wanted to download it before that happened.
I've figured out the issue here (at least for the cases I've tried): clicking "song link" and then following the YouTube link when not signed in brings up a click-through content warning. Presumably Spotube hangs on this. This also isn't strictly a download issue - the songs also won't play.
It is also blocked using a different instance than the official youtube (Official kavin.rocks).
Anyone found a fix to this problem? Since I am not a coder myself, I can't offer a solution yet. From the issue date, I can see that this is somehow of a recent issue. I am waiting for an upcoming fix.
You can try changing the source of the music. I use an Android phone. First, I erased all Spotube memory and changed the music source from YouTube to another (I currently chose Piped). After that, I signed into my Spotify account and tried to download it again. If the issue still appears, repeat all the steps above.
