playlist-dl

This is to easen downloading a music playlist via yt-dlp. Assumes a Git BASH terminal on Windows as the environment.

Following is enought to get you started:

git clone https://github.com/cbugk/playlist-dl.git
cd playlist-dl

cp ./playlistlist-example.txt ./playlistlist.txt

# Edit file such that each line has a playlist URI

chmod +x ./download-playlists.sh
./download-playlists.sh

You can find directories with playlists' names under dl directory.

Per each playlist, there are dl/*/uri.txt files containing the respective URI of that playlist, and dl/*/archive.txt file contaning video identifiers of already downloaded videos. Whether or not downloaded files and present, as long as videos are listed within the archive file, yt-dlp will skip them. This way you can move or modify previously downloaded files.

Note that no metadata parameters are used here. For more see: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp?tab=readme-ov-file
