Hello! I'm getting a 403 error on every download attempt with votify 1.9.9 on Windows. Fresh cookies, tried multiple URLs, same result every time.

An application called zotify was experiencing this same issue, which seems to be caused by librespot - Googolplexed0/zotify#48

That discussion led to a fix in zotify, and maybe it has to happen here in votify as well?

I've had similar issues regarding 403 errors when attempting to use votify. I've come to the conclusion that the device running votify is using an ip address that is blacklisted from accessing certain spotify endpoints, breaking the app. I've also used fresh accounts with fresh cookies, tried other methods such as librespot instead of the main one, but I get 403 unauthorized no matter what. I also think it's due to that because I used to be on cloudflare warp (changes ip to cloudflare servers) when doing it and I got the 403 errors but when turning it off temporarily and using my actual network ip, it worked fine. I probably shouldn't have done that though because I'm pretty sure from creating so many accounts and downloading so many songs like this that I got my actual IP blacklisted too. I guess I'm just going to need to find a vpn, likely residential proxy tho for an ip that isn't blacklisted now but yea thats probably the issue if you didn't fix it and haven't found a proven conclusion besides this 🥲
