Here's the details. Looks like it doesn't like spotify_dl.exe. I'm not sure where you got it. Is it even needed? Doesn't the script hit the web API directly?

yeah, antivirus isn't going to trust the exe since it's a random executable that runs what looks like arbitrary code. the exe is the pyinstaller output of the src/ dir, so nothing to worry about. understand if you don't trust it, so then i'd say install Python 3.9+ and the modules in requirements.txt so you can run the source code yourself. i compiled the script to an exe so people don't need Python and the reqs installed to use the tool
