When downloading an album some songs are downloaded but most are not with the error "The stream URL may require a proxy. Please try streaming instead."

I started getting this error couple days ago as well.
Firefox dev console says:

Failed to load track: Error: Malformed track response
    Immutable 2

and the HTTP (200) request response is:

{"version":"2.1","data":{"trackId":453944245,"assetPresentation":"FULL","audioMode":"STEREO","audioQuality":"LOSSLESS","manifestMimeType":"application/vnd.tidal.bts","manifestHash":"nHdUOR4lmNHFj1FRVMQtjkl2q9g8B1/8iaLYb5MvaAk=","manifest":"eyJtaW1lVHlwZSI6ImF1ZGlvL2ZsYWMiLCJjb2RlY3MiOiJmbGFjIiwiZW5jcnlwdGlvblR5cGUiOiJOT05FIiwidXJscyI6WyJodHRwczovL2xnZi5hdWRpby50aWRhbC5jb20vbWVkaWF0cmFja3MvQ0FFYUtBZ0RFaVF6TVdFNU5HWXdOR0ptT1Rsa1kySXpZMkpsWm1KaU9XWXpaREk0TVdNMlpDNXRjRFEvMC5mbGFjP3Rva2VuPTE3Njc4Mjk1MTN+TVRNek9UUXdaV0ZqTkRreVl6TTBObVEyTm1OaVlUTTBOamhqWTJFMlpXRXpOR0kzT1RCa01nPT0iXX0=","albumReplayGain":-13.38,"albumPeakAmplitude":0.976105,"trackReplayGain":-9.61,"trackPeakAmplitude":0.976105,"bitDepth":16,"sampleRate":44100}}

and it still fails with:

Alright, this seems like a serious issue. Can you try on monochrome.samidy.com? Many thanks for the issue. I'll look into reproducing this error.

Fixed in v3.4. The code was only checking for API v2.0, not v2.2 🤦
