The thing is, my pull request hasn’t been accepted yet. You can clone my fork of the project yourself and build the executable you need, or download one of the binaries I compiled. I labeled them as version 7.0.6. I also made quite a few bug fixes, which you can check out in #113 or on the releases page of my fork.

You can download the precompiled files from my fork here: https://github.com/Laynholt/SpotiDownloader/releases/tag/v7.0.6, until the project author merges my pull request.

your fork still has the pertaining issue of the automated script attempting to skip the website captcha, which causes a lot of the token issues because the script is just too fast, sometimes the website isnt even allowed to load the song info before the automated script presses the download button twice and promptly closes the chrome tab

Yeah your fork still have the issue, seems like on failing to get the token the tool attempts to chromedriver a website to download the song but fails miserably due to the presence of a captcha.
