Music Downloader

Downloads music as MP3 from YouTube. Files are saved to ~/Music/Downloads/.

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• yt-dlp: python -m pip install yt-dlp
• FFmpeg: winget install ffmpeg

Usage

# Search by name
python music.py Bohemian Rhapsody Queen

# Use a direct URL
python music.py https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...

# Download a whole list at once (one song per line)
python music.py -f songs.txt

# Or pipe the list in
python music.py < songs.txt

songs.txt format

One song per line — title and artist, no quotes, no numbering. Direct YouTube URLs work too, mixed freely with search terms.

Him & I G-Eazy Halsey
Karma Mahmood Woodkid
T'Amo Mahmood
Faded Alan Walker

Notes

• No quotes needed for search terms
• Playlists (as in YouTube playlist URLs) are ignored — each line is treated as one song
• Batch mode continues past failures and prints a summary at the end
• Audio quality: 192kbps MP3
