YouTube Music Downloader is a command-line music downloader written in Python that retrieves audio from YouTube and enriches it with detailed metadata from external sources. It combines tools like yt-dlp and FFmpeg to extract high-quality audio while automatically tagging files with artist name, album, release date, and artwork. The application distinguishes itself by integrating metadata providers such as Spotify and iTunes, ensuring that downloaded tracks resemble properly organized music library entries. It supports downloading single songs, playlists, or batches of tracks using flexible command-line options. ytmdl also allows customization of output formats, directory structures, and metadata handling through configuration files. With features like audio trimming and dynamic file organization, it serves as a practical tool for building structured offline music collections. Its lightweight design and scriptability make it ideal for automation and personal media management workflows.
