Hey guys i have been using Navidrome to stream my music from my server and its been amazing. I primarily use YT Music because of discoverability so I have all of my “primary” playlists (about 8 of them really, but supporting a somewhat arbitrary limit would be nice) in YouTube.

Im looking for an automated way to download the music and keep my navidrome instance updated with a couple playlists. I started working on some Python script to handle it, but its just not working super well so i would prefer to use someone elses solution haha.

Anyone have any good recommendations? I tried this one but I couldn’t actually find the music and it seems to only support one playlist at a time. It would also be nice to download the album art and set some ID3 tags too

      Yeah I am using yt-dlp to download the music, and I can set that on a cronjob no problem.

      I am specifically asking for better downloading (I don’t want just the raw YouTube title most of the time), album art, and ID3 tagging. But that beets.io thing looks super cool! I might integrate that into my existing python scripting instead of trying to build it all out myself

          Haha unfortunately the music on YouTube is not especially well managed. Ive been using YouTube for music for a long time so a lot of my music is uploaded by Vevo or “{Artist} - Topic” and stuff like that. Plus (IIRC) YouTube music doesn’t give things like what album a song is from or when it was released
