when I type in yt-dlp -x --audio-format mp3 -f bestaudio -o "%(playlist)s/%(playlist_index)s - %(title)s.%(ext)s" "YOUR_PLAYLIST_URL" I get an error message saying youtube music not supported and then it switches over to Youtube to get the playlist I give access to my cookies so it can download e playlist but then I get error messages while it tries to download the playlist and nothing gets downloaded.

Any suggestions?

EDIT: it's youtube music that's the problem. I can download from youtube proper, but the problem is that songs that have a music video are substituted instead of the song file itself.

EDIT: I think I will just transfer my liked playlist to another playlist and download that.

Sorry if this is a bit of a tangent, but it's a shame torrenting music aren't as big a thing as they used to be.

It was nice being able to download high quality album rips pretty quickly after release.

I dunno, maybe my tastes have become too niche or I'm looking in all the wrong places.

rutracker dot org

So you're saying I should steal content by downloading it illegally from rutracker.org?Thanks for the tip. I'll be sure to download loads of content illegally, then seed it in perpetuity, so that others can also steal it and infringe copyright on a mass scale.

Just kidding, I will be sure to only download public domain content and open source software.

In all seriousness, is rutracker something I should visit with my browser in a sandbox, or is ublock and privacy badger enough?
