As far as I know, Spotify doesn't allow you to download songs or if it does, the files are automatically stored in certain folders and have their name changed. If you use an application that was developed to do such thing, then you will have to contact the developer of that application and report the bugs. It's also possible that the program you use to download the songs has been banned or blocked by Spotify developers.

I think you can close Spotify and open Spotify again. Or force restart your device. Delete this app and download and install it again.
This problem is really annoying. And Spotify all usually has some small mistakes. You can use a Spotify music converter to download all the Spotify songs you like to MP3 and listen to them offline.

Spotify officially allows downloading music for offline listening with a premium subscription. If Spotify returns an error when you download songs from it, force quit the app and then run it again after rebooting your device. This would be helpful. In case that it cuts no ice, you might as well a third-party Spotify music downloader to download Spotify songs and playlists to local files, so that you can freely listen to Spotify music offline on any device without limit.

It is impossible to find the Spotify songs downloaded by Spotify Premium since they are cache files. To truly download Spotify music onto the local computer, it is necessary to use a dedicated Spotify Music Downloader. I recommend AudKit Spotify Music Converter for the reason of the perfect conversion speed and 100% original output sound quality.
