I’ve been using either Spotifymate or doubledouble to automatically plug in spotify playlists and have all the tunes downloaded.
Doubledouble tends to have issues with regionlocking and will freeze a good bit of the way through processing certain playlists, so I’ve found it less than reliable.
Spotifymate is way more reliable, but when you plug in the link to the playlist, you have to download each song individually. This is not a problem with small playlists, but when you come across larger playlists it makes it a very tedious task. I may just be stupid, but I don’t seem to see a way to download the whole playlist with one click.
Anybody know if its possible or should I look for other solutions? I should also add that I would be more than happy to use some sort of software that automatically makes spotify playlists into youtube playlists so that I can download them from youtube directly with jdownloader if that is an option, I just didn’t see that anywhere.
Hey, just wanted to slightly highjack your post to ask, Is there a way to do this with YouTube Music? I was looking the other day and I know I can download YouTube video to mp3 one at a time, but I was trying to find a way to download whole playlists from YTM. Saw some shady looking software that wanted $30 or so but couldn’t find if it was legit or not.
You want yt-dlp. It’s a command line app, but it’s pretty simple to use. For example, to download a whole playlist to best quality audio, regardless of if the main URL is pointing to a video or playlist, you can do
hey sorry if other people have already answered this, but you can usually use jdownloader to rip audio straight out of youtube. I’ve been doing that for ages, but sometimes the playlists I want to rip have way more tunes than I want to rip and the quality is all over the place so I want more consistency. It works really well though if you want to curate your own youtube playlists and then rip them.
It should be noted that this also works with video in youtube too- you can rip your favorite videos in their entirety

yt-dlp --yes-playlist -x --audio-format mp3 <url>Thank you, this looks exactly like I wanted.
I think yt-dlp can do that
Thanks. This looks perfect.
