YTMusic

Listen to songs from your terminal !! 🎷 A kind of YouTube music in the terminal.

YTMusic is a simple python script to play songs from YouTube in terminal.

It also supports auto-play and playlists. 😁 You can also download songs to listen to them offline.

Demo :

I had a potato computer before and opening a browser or some heavy bloated app just to listen to some music.... not good. 😓

Since I use terminal for a lot of my tasks anyway, I wrote this script to play songs from the terminal and still use it even on my new machine. It uses youtube-dl and mpv to stream and download songs. 😎

Installation 🔨

Clone this repository

​ git clone https://github.com/AyushRawal/YTMusic.git

Install all the python dependencies:

​ pip install youtube-dl argparse prettytable colorama requests

​ You may need to replace pip with pip3 if you are using Linux and python3 is not the default.

You also need to have mpv installed. (Windows users can keep the executables in the same folder as the script.)

Note: You will also like to have your key-bindings set for mpv (if you don't like the default). For that, Linux users should edit ~/.config/mpv/input.conf (create it if you don't have one) (default file can be found at /usr/share/doc/mpv/mplayer-input.conf for Ubuntu users.). Windows users need to create input.conf in the same folder as the executable.

Usage 💻

usage: ytmusic.py [-h] [-o] [-a] [-d] [-u]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help      show this help message and exit
  -o, --options   Display a list of songs to choose from
  -a, --autoplay  Start playing similar songs after the requested song or playlist
  -d, --download  Download the song or playlist instead of playing it. Be careful while passing this
                  with -a as it can cause a large number of downloads
  -u, --url       Ask for playlist url instead of song. Play / Download songs from the given url.
                  Passing -o with it will not work.

Changelog 📋

• Now, you can play / download your playlists by providing the URL of the playlist.
• It no longer embeds album art in the downloaded songs (at least for now). I had to remove it since YouTube now supports multiple formats for thumbnails and AtomicParsley only supports jpg and png formats 😞.
• AtomicParsley is no longer a requirement due to the above mentioned point.
• FFMpeg is also not a requirement anymore.
