YouTubeMusic download without spotify #2210

Requested Feature

I love that spotdl can download hi-res from YouTubeMusic. Is there a way to use spotdl to download songs from youtube music directly, without a spotify link? I don't really care about metadata.

I guess it's not possible through CLI. Does anyone know how to use the API to do this?

Possible implementation

detect if link is youtube-music, if yes, just skip searching and download right away

Sounds like you don't need spotDL at all. spotDL uses yt-dlp to handle the downloading, you can try that or youtube-dl (which yt-dlp is a fork of).
