A Windows command line YT to mp3 solution that is designed to fill mp3 metadata based on YouTube descriptions.
- Download YouTube playlists to mp3 files
- Create a playlist file
- Append existing playlists without needing to redownload the entire playlist
- Fill metadata of files based on YouTube titles and descriptions
Note: these need to be enabled seperately in the config file 'YTAutoMusic.dll.config'
- XSPF -- enabled by default
- M3U8 (absolute path) -- enabled by default
- M3U8 (local path)
- M3U8 (url)
- VLC (.xspf extension)
- AIMP (.xspf extension)
Most programs will support the default playlist files. XSPF is prefered as it works the same in most programs. Extensions are supported but necessary. M3U8 will probably work on anything else, however, the spec for M3U8 is not standardized so you may need to experiment with different modes.
