[Bug Report] Massive memory leak

[bassklampfe]

Problem

Downloading a playlist start consuming memory per song, which will not returned to system.
My system has 64 GB and starts swapping after about 50 Songs. Testing in a VM with 4 GB start swapping after only a few songs. System then becomes stalled and cannot operate normal until you manage to kill SpotiFLAC.

Type

Playlist

Spotify URL

https://open.spotify.com/intl-de/album/7rzOE78KhOLPfmF2gqUp7G

Additional Context

Link does not really matter, happens with all downloads.

I have tested in a VM with nothing installed but tor, because I run spotiFLAC with torify.

SpotiFLAC Version

7.1.6 appimage

OS

Mint 22.3 or Ubuntu 24.04

Location

After some more testing: IT IS EVEN WORSE! Just running the app and opening a playlist start a slow, but continues memory loss.

It's MUCH better, when running without torify, but I don't understand the relation between the two.

Tried then with Proton-VPN. Memory loss is something between "with torify" and "without torify" But it still is present.
I have to kill SpotiFLAC after about 10…15 Songs, before swapping begins.
