Download songs does not work since beginning unless you're subscribed as premium user.
That's why external downloader exist, use Seal or YTDLnis to download songs.

This is not about "download" songs as media files, and instead the "Download to listen offline" (cache-like) functionality. It was working in YTM v7.03.52 with Revanced, but button simply stopped working in v7.29.52 (current).

This should technically work. It's likely caused by unspoofed requests. However without being able to test potential fixes on our end this isn't something we can fix easily
