I am confused how to run this on Windows. I have Cargo fully installed and ready to go and when I download the exe and try to run it ,it just crashes.

Can you provide more details, otherwise I cannot identify the cause? For example, what is the crash message? Are there any logs/backtraces in the cache folder?

I could not find the logs but when I try to run the Spotify_Player.exe in the CMD I get this error: "Error: Cannot create a file when that file already exists. (os error 183)" There is no crash message it doesn't even open it tries to and then exits.

Where did you find the logs? You can check the application cache folder location by looking into spotify_player -h:

spotify_player -h

...
Options:
  -t, --theme <THEME>           Application theme
  -c, --config-folder <FOLDER>  Path to the application's config folder [default: /Users/aome510/.config/spotify-player]
  -C, --cache-folder <FOLDER>   Path to the application's cache folder [default: /Users/aome510/.cache/spotify-player]
  -h, --help                    Print help
  -V, --version                 Print version
