Just a little FYI for anyone wanting to download a playlist to listen to offline. Use yt-dlp. Load up the playlist, copy the URL, and then just run

yt-dlp --extract-audio --audio-format mp3 --audio-quality 0 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list

Does it download the actual music tracks from youtube-music, or does YouTube helpfully provide the video version of the music?

I've used a few downloaders and it seems these days that every music video is a whole "production" with 30 seconds of dialogue and intro before the actual music starts, or there's background noise over the first dozen bars (because the artist is in a cafe or car park or on the train in the clip) and all of that is just a bit tedious when listening to the audio only.

yt-dlp has SponsorBlock support/integration. So if the community provided the information, it can be dropped.
