Streaming from YouTube:

This might be a good option to create a private/public playlist on YouTube which could serve as an "radio channel" for the music.

Here a small sketch of how that could look like.

Because of YouTube being so generous and kind, they removed the dislike button which makes pafy useless atm. There is already a PR for it, but i guess this will take time to get merged since the whole project seems to be a bit unmaintained (last commit 9 months ago).

Keep an 👁️ out for updates!
