ytmusicapi has a locales folder that is not automatically included by PyInstaller - you need to manually include it

@brentvollebregt Thank you so much! It solved the problem. However, I'm still getting many other errors that randomly change after every run. Something like:

pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'PACKAGE_NAME' distribution was not found and is required by spotdl

Some package names: pytube, yt-dlp, rich, mutagen, requests, BeautifulSoup4, etc.
I tried importing them in my main file and adding them using --hidden-import and --collect-* options, but they didn't solve the problem.
Is it possible to ask it to import all packages installed in my venv (and their files)?

This looks like a PyInstaller issue - do you still get these errors when using the generated command at the bottom of the UI?
