FFmpeg binary is not available for your system
I'm using macos Ventura 13.3.1 (a). I can't run spotdl without the prefix "python3 -m", that's an issue too. When I try to download a playlist, a message pops up to install ffmpeg, however, when I try to install it, it can't. Any idea how to fix this?

FFmpeg and spotDL v4

spotDL requires FFmpeg v4.2 or above

Specify path to FFmpeg

If you don't want to add FFmpeg to your PATH, you can specify the path to the FFmpeg binary:
Add the --ffmpeg flag to your command. e.g.
spotdl download --ffmpeg /path/to/ffmpeg.exe [trackUrl]

#

If using FFmpeg only for spotDL, you can install FFmpeg to your local directory.
spotdl --download-ffmpeg will download FFmpeg to your spotDL installation directory.
We recommend the above option, but if you want to install FFmpeg system-wide

Windows: Download Binaries then follow tutorial
OSX: brew install ffmpeg
Linux:sudo apt install ffmpeg -y or use your distro's package manager
