[newb query] grab multiple yt playlists & their links?

[J-HS-L]

I have ~80-odd yt playlists, some with just a few links, others with many hundreds.

I'm not wanting to d'load the actual video files, just the urls & video titles. Perhaps some other meta-data too, but this is secondary to the aforementioned.

Does this tool offer a nice gui to extract/export all of this into x format/file(s)? I believe what I want, is possible with yt-dlp, but it's a bit unfriendly for the avg user.

Ultimately, I'm migrating all of it to my "second brain" in OneNote...

Most Appreciatively, jug

The application can load a playlist using its "playlist downloader" tab as seen in the image below. As the image below show, there is a context menu that has an option to save the list to a file. If you save the file with the default extension of ".json", saved data in the file will look like what is below the picture below, if you change the extension to something else like ".txt" then only urls will be saved.

So, it sounds like I simply repeat that for all ~60 playlists to get my; pl names, & their vid URLs & titles?

Thank you.

In the playlist downloader tab, it is possible to put multiple playlists but they have to be separated by a space character.

New version is out and with the new version, "save list to file" with .txt extension and the file will have entries like below.
