Django and Python models.py indentation error

I have the following code and an error that says 'inconsistent use of spaces and indentation' but I cannot see what has been done wrong?

class Song(models.Model):
    album=models.ForeignKey(Album, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    file_type=models.CharField(max_length=10)
    song_title=models.CharField(max_length=250)

    def __str__(self):
        return self.song_title

The code above it for another class is exactly the same, but it works

class Album(models.Model):
    artist=models.CharField(max_length=250)
    album_title=models.CharField(max_length=500)
    genre=models.CharField(max_length=100)
    album_logo=models.CharField(max_length=1000)

    def __str__(self): #this is a string representation of this object - useful for testing/viewing purposes
        return self.album_title+""+self.artist

The error appears to be in the line that returns the string representation of the Song object

def __str__(self):
            return self.song_title

More specifically the error seems to point to this line:

def __str__(self): (if you note its position above int he Song class, the indentation looks fine...)

Can anyone spot the error or suggest a fix?

This error occurs when you use the 'tab' button to indent your code in some places, but spacing in other. You just need to make sure you use either tabs or spaces throughout the whole file.

Find out which you use most often then adjust the outlier to the same method.
