Hi

Im a complete noob at this so i need help. Ive been using youtube dl for a while now and it has always annoyed me that when i download a song from youtube and open it in foobar, the "artist" is somehow the uploader of the youtube video and not the actual artist in the video title.

I have tried searching github and google for an answer but im still lost. Is there a way i can replace the "uploader" with the "artist" in the metadata(?) so it shows in foobar or any other player?

@Raipperi Have a look at https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl#post-processing-options --metadata-from-title

That's an issue with youtube-dl, not youtube-dl-gui.
