I had difficulty reproducing this.
I did reproduce twice with 62.0.3 on https://www.gurmatsangeetcollection.org/collection/SWkG4WGgi6L2hfDdY playing track 1 and downloading track 3.

When playback stopped, the site reported an error and the Web Console had a single message: TypeError:e._sounds[0] is undefined

I didn't reproduce with 63, but one download stalled.

You're right, I somehow missed that message in the console. I do get the message in 63.0.1 as well. However, both Chrome and Edge had no error messages or stalls when downloading. I will investigate further on my end to see if there's a bug somewhere.
