For yt-dlp, see its installation instructions page.

Since some Linux distributions tend to take a while until they update youtube-dl, I recommend removing the youtube-dl package installed from the repositories, and manually installing it as explained on the youtube-dl download page. youtube-dl stops working regularly due to changes to YouTube, so you'll want to have the latest version installed on your system.

Moreover, there are no nasty surprises while downloading them as the software makes full use of the transfer speeds your provider makes available.This article explains using youtube-dl / yt-dlp to download a YouTube playlist using the best available audio format, and convert it to MP3 (using FFmpeg, which youtube-dl / yt-dlp uses automatically for transcoding).įor this you'll need to have youtube-dl or yt-dlp and ffmpeg installed on your system. It gets better! You don’t have to leave the files in their original form and can convert them instead. That’s why having ID3 tag support is nice to have, especially once your media count goes up into the hundreds. Still, you might want to relocate them to different folders make your own groupings regardless of the original playlist. There’s already some degree of organization when you download videos as parts of playlists. ID3 tags are one of those cool extra features we hinted at above.

There are countless options we’ll touch on in a bit, but just the act of copying a playlist’s address into the clearly visible bar is enough to initiate a YT download. We’ve made the interface easy to grasp for everyone, with large icons and segments that look and feel like they belong where they’re supposed to. Getting everything to work is almost as simple as using web browser. Someone has already gone through the trouble of organizing videos and songs into playlists, so why not snatch them up in one go? That’s the idea behind MP3Studio, an easy-to-use but versatile YouTube playlist downloader that handles conversion and saving locally with no supervision and minimal input on your part.
