ytmdl VS yt-dlc

This one's not perfect, but it rips songs from YouTube or things like that and gets the Metadata so you can upload it to iTunes to your iPod and what not https://ytmdl.deepjyoti30.dev/

https://github.com/deepjyoti30/ytmdl did this first, and did it best, the rest of the projects doing it add precisely nothing.

I don't know what your current OS is or familiarity with command line is like, but this is pretty handy for what you want to do: ytmdl

Any suggestions? for now when I want to download single tracks I use a spotdl fork and I have looked at ytmdl which I believe have support for Spotify metada, but other than that, having seen anything that can integrate with yt-dlp and not replace it.

This program downloads then extracts metadata from iTunes, Spotify, LastFM, Deezer, Gaana https://github.com/deepjyoti30/ytmdl

https://github.com/deepjyoti30/ytmdl kind of does it but it grabs the mp3 not the video. I might have it pull the official video URL and dump those to a file then grab those.

you can download youtube songs in mp3 not only with thumbnail but also metadata with ytmdl (artist name, album, etc) (web app) (command line)

(Installation instructions are included in the documentation provided by both forks)

youtube-dlc is a fork of youtube-dl with the intention of getting features tested by the community merged in the tool faster

We love yt-dlp which is a youtube-dl fork based on the now inactive youtube-dlc. The main focus of the project is adding new features and patches while also keeping up to date with the original project.

yt-dlc

Not who you responded to, but I use youtube-dlc. It's a command-line based utility with a ton of options for downloading YouTube videos.
