Hey, just wanted to slightly highjack your post to ask, Is there a way to do this with YouTube Music? I was looking the other day and I know I can download YouTube video to mp3 one at a time, but I was trying to find a way to download whole playlists from YTM. Saw some shady looking software that wanted $30 or so but couldn't find if it was legit or not.
You want
yt-dlp
. It's a command line app, but it's pretty simple to use. For example, to download a whole playlist to best quality audio, regardless of if the main URL is pointing to a video or playlist, you can doyt-dlp --yes-playlist -x <url>
If you specifically want mp3 format, you could do
yt-dlp --yes-playlist -x --audio-format mp3 <url>
Thank you, this looks exactly like I wanted.
I think yt-dlp can do that
Thanks. This looks perfect.
hey sorry if other people have already answered this, but you can usually use jdownloader to rip audio straight out of youtube. I've been doing that for ages, but sometimes the playlists I want to rip have way more tunes than I want to rip and the quality is all over the place so I want more consistency. It works really well though if you want to curate your own youtube playlists and then rip them.
It should be noted that this also works with video in youtube too- you can rip your favorite videos in their entirety
