Hello. 1st time caller, long time lurker. If I wanted to get a bunch of music videos for a theme party (in this case goth 80s) what would be the best source? Are there like mtv torrents by year or anything to make the collecting less tedious?
You have to find the links by hand, but wasn’t really that bad for what I was doing, since I really only needed to snag about 50 videos or so to make the playlist rotation work out right.

Ok, I can work with harvesting YT but what do you use to do it? There are multiple websites that CLAIM to do this but they all are sketch.
Find a playlist of the music videos you want, use jdownloader to download the entire playlist.
yt-dlp is my go to. It’s the open source project most other things use behind the scenes
ytDownloader, assuming it still works.
