Not sure if you're aware, and also FYI for anyone wanting to take the issue, but a music.youtube URL is the same as a youtube URL, just with the "music." added/removed..
For instance, when I create a batch file from searching on music.youtube.com or the YT Music app, I find the link for the video, which is for example "https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=V1Pl8CzNzCw" .. then the URL I need to get youtube-dl to download is "https://youtube.com/watch?v=V1Pl8CzNzCw" or simply "V1Pl8CzNzCw"
Make sure you are using the latest version: run
youtube-dl --version
and ensure your version is 2018.11.07. If it's not, read this FAQ entry and update. Issues with outdated version will be rejected.Before submitting an issue make sure you have:
What is the purpose of your issue?
I find that youtube music search results are generally more consistent in finding actual songs (as opposed to things like music videos, lyric videos, etc.), so I'd like it if there were support for downloading the first result from a music.youtube.com search, in the form of something like a ytmsearch1: or support for a search url (ex. https://music.youtube.com/search?q=rick+astley+never+gonna+give+you+up, the command line for that is above)
