[BUG] Streamrip does not follow URL redirects on Deezer.
Describe the bug
It look like that when you download a playlist from Deezer, a lot of the download errors are related to URL redirects.
Deezer doesn't seem to update the URLs in playlists until the playlist is modified or updated. Old playlists therefore regularly point to albums or tracks that have changed address.
Streamrip does not seem to handle 300 errors in this type of case and returns an error : 'ERROR Error fetching album of track XXXX : DataException: album/YYYY/tracks no data '.
What I don't understand is why it returns a DataException and not an APIError.
I tried adding a line in streamrip/lib/python3.12/site-packages/deezer/api.py:
if result_json[“error”][“code”] == 301: raise InvalidTokenException(f‘Error 301: {method} {result_json[“error”][“message”] if “message” in result_json[“error”] else “”}’)
if result_json[“error”][“code”] == 302: raise InvalidTokenException(f‘Error 302: {method} {result_json[“error”][“message”] if “message” in result_json[“error”] else “”}’)
However, the conditions are never met and the error is passed through code 800.

I could potentially write a patch if I am told which URL resolution function(s) to modify. I am not familiar with the internal structure of streamrip and I have not found a satisfactory solution for playlists.
