YouTube Playlist to MP3 Converter

This project allows you to download videos from a YouTube playlist, convert them to MP3, attach the correct thumbnail from the video as the song's icon, and set metadata such as author, album, and other details. I just had to push something, 2y ago me was embarrassing :/

Features

  • Playlist Download: Download all videos from a given YouTube playlist URL.
  • MP3 Conversion: Convert downloaded videos into high-quality MP3 files.
  • Thumbnail Embedding: Automatically extract and embed video thumbnails as icons for the MP3 files.
  • Metadata Tagging: Set metadata like title, artist, album, and genre for each MP3 file based on video details.

Installation

  1. Clone the repository:

    git clone https://github.com/asdat3/youtube_spotify_download.git
cd youtube_spotify_download

  2. Install the required Python packages:

    pip install -r requirements.txt

  3. Ensure FFmpeg is installed and accessible from the command line.

    • On Windows: Download FFmpeg and add it to your PATH.
    • On Linux: Install via Homebrew or package manager: 
      brew install ffmpeg
    • On Mac: you should just buy youtube premium

Usage

Command Line

  1. Edit the main.py to customize your settings

  2. Run the script with a YouTube playlist URL:

    python main.py

How It Works

  1. Download Videos: Videos from the playlist are downloaded using yt-dlp.
  2. Convert to MP3: FFmpeg converts the downloaded videos into MP3 files.
  3. Extract and Embed Thumbnail: Thumbnails are extracted from the video and embedded into the MP3 as album art.
  4. Set Metadata: The script sets metadata such as:
    • Title: Based on video title.
    • Artist: Based on the YouTube channel name.
    • Album: User-defined or based on the playlist name.

Future Enhancements (will never happen)

  • Add support for individual video URLs.
  • Include error handling for unavailable videos.
  • Allow users to customize metadata fields interactively.
  • Add a GUI for non-technical users.
