Simple YouTube playlist downloading tool.
All You have to do, is providing the playlist url, and this tool will download all of your songs in mp3 format to your PC.
# venv initialization, etc.
pip install -r requirements.txt
python3 yt-playlist-audio.py <url to playlist>You have to have ffmpeg binary accessible in your PATH.
Pytube downloads audio streams in mp4 format. This script couples Pytube with ffmpeg to immediately convert those files into mp3s.
Also, it splits the downloading process into multiple threads to speed up the process.
With 6 cores, it takes around 1.5 seconds/song.
I couldn't get the pytube.cli.at_progress to work, so I used tqdm to show the progress of downloading.
I've only tested this script on Linux Mint, with Kitty terminal.
