3 years ago I've noticed that the last few days, albums are opening up in "channel" links, using the same id as the "browse" links, but without the redirect. For example, here's the same album that @someziggyman used as an example, but with the newer[?] URL format:
https://music.youtube.com/channel/MPREb_ionshzGThBb
(Also, I am using ver. 2021-03-03).

Description
So, I've tried to download this YT music playlist by this URL: https://music.youtube.com/browse/MPREb_ionshzGThBb And if fails with Error 404, though playable in browser. Log will be below.
If I use playlist link from the Share menu or try individual tracks everything works flawlessly. Playlist share url: https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kTszKQkux0dNJZUBM94ghp_1b1KE1Be3I Individual track: https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=5zZLsvbO1nI&list=OLAK5uy_kTszKQkux0dNJZUBM94ghp_1b1KE1Be3I
