ncspot hangs for several minutes upon launch #1817

Description

@Bettehem

Describe the bug
When launching ncspot, it takes several minutes before the tui shows up

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Run ncspot
  2. Program seemingly hangs for several minutes (more like tens of minutes)
  3. TUI finally loads

Expected behavior
When launching ncspot, it should load up almost immediately, as it has in the past.

System (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Arch Linux
  • Terminal: any
  • Version: 1.3.3 (9712683). Same behaviour also observable on the latest commit from the main branch
  • Installed from: AUR using the ncspot-bin package but also happens on ncspot-git and when building directly from sources.

Additional context
I'm pretty sure this started happening after Spotify dropped username + password login entirely and started forcing the oauth2 login. I'm sorry I don't really know how exactly to give reproduction instructions for this. It happens for me literally every time I try to launch ncspot.
I also tried ncspot on another Arch Linux machine with exactly the same results.
Not sure if in any way relevant, since the hanging happens before I ever get into the program to play audio, but on the other machine I use pipewire and on the other one I use pulseaudio
