From the README
This tool allows to download songs and videos from TIDAL. Multithreaded and multi-chunked downloads are supported.
⚠️ Windows Defender / Anti Virus software / web browser alerts, while you try to download the app binary: This is a false positive. Please read this issue, PyInstaller (used by this project) statement and the alternative installation solution.

If you like this projects and want to support it, feel free to buy me a coffee 🙃✌️
Requirements: Python version 3.12 (other versions might work but are not tested!)
You can use the command line (CLI) version to download media by URL:
If you like to have the GUI version only as a binary, have a look at the release page and download the correct version for your platform.
