Error Message

Walkthrough

Upon putting in my CLIENT ID, and CLIENT SECRET, I get asked to the port to be redirected to.
I hit enter, defaulting to port 8888 and get redirected to my browser.
Where I see this screen.

Instead spt states with this error:

It grabs all playlist and such from my account. So it must be cached somewhere.
I had deleted firefox (my default browser) cookies, deleted $HOME/.config/spotify-tui/* to mitigate that, to no avail.

Narrowing down cause

Halfway through writing this Issue, I switched songs, and the error had gone away.

I had narrowed it down.
It only occurs when listening to a song in my liked songs playlist, provided by spotify.

I'm stumped as to why though.

I have the same issue when trying to play songs from "Your Top Songs " playlists (XXXX being a year, like 2021, 2020, etc.).
I guess it has something to do with a property not available on songs from this kind of playlist.

I had the same issue. when any of the songs from liked songs was playing i would get the error message, so i selected a song from a playlist and when i went back to the liked songs i had no errors.
