v3.0.1

Installation source

There's no certificates so obviously Microsoft decides it's a virus

But If you're concerned you can use Winget or chocolatey to install

is it possible to provide a standalone portable app for windows? Like what they offer at https://www.liberkey.com/en.html

Yea it's possible. But it doesn't really make sense for a music player

Its really helpful to not have to install. It would allow me to use the music player on my work computer for example.

Yeah, awesome, our totally trustworthy vendors and super nice corporate company Google and Microsoft flagged it as malicious.

Please just get your app signed already.

It's not that simple. And signing is a lie.

Note that this happens for a winget install too:

Detected as malicious by Crowdstrike Falcon... Now I don't believe it is malicious but am unable to use right now, which... sucks.

You can look at the source if you don't trust it
