ytmusic-lib-tracker VS ytmdl

I hate it as well to the point I wrote a python script to keep track of all the songs I have in my library. I run it once in a while to export all playlists to csv and compare new csv with the previous one. It will list all songs that become unavailable since the last export and all songs you added/removed or songs where metadata has been changed. You can find it on github: https://github.com/czifumasa/ytmusic-lib-tracker

So far the best tool I found was https://github.com/czifumasa/ytmusic-lib-tracker -- this will export all your playlists to a csv file which you can then process with Excel or Python.

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)
