Hello, thank you for the great apps. When I try to download youtube music by album and passing itunes album ID, it doesn't add any metadata to the songs. I just want to ask, can you add so ytmdl can automatically detect itunes album when using --itunes-id parameter, so every song downloaded can have metadata the same as their itunes without passing every itunes id of the song.

Hey @sulaimangari By default ytmdl tries it's best to show the search results for metadata. This includes searching on itunes based on the song name entered by the user. If the youtube URL is passed, then ytmdl tries to extract the name of the song (as present in YouTube) and then searches that for metadata. Moreover, metadata is searched in various backends like Itunes, Gaana, Deezer etc.

Have you tried using ytmdl without passing the --itunes-id param?
