That's most likely related to Amazon Music.
Try to force source to Tidal in the settings, it should solve the problem for now.

@Rifhifi it is not amazon music, but infact tidal, i made my own issue but closed it after finding this one, but i will copy-paste my message here
"So it does seem like this is an issue with title,
I do have a suggestion to fix this, maybe if the song length doesn't match with the time in the metadata within 5-10 seconds, then it will move onto another source, if it can't find another sourc,e then it will download it anyway with a warning next to the song."

Im getting this only when I use Download All. If a song individually from a album / playlist it works fine... not sure what happens different with download all maybe it needs a delay?

I'm noticing it on some songs wether they are downloaded directly or from the album, forcing it to use Amazon Music fixed the issue.

The issue of the song being cut off and only downloading for 30 seconds is due to Tidal's 24-bit quality, as it uses DASH/stream chunks at that level. Please try redownloading and ensure your internet speed is sufficient.

@afkarxyz so we just need to lower the quality?
