ytmdl is a Python CLI tool (with an optional web app) that downloads songs from YouTube as MP3s and enriches them with metadata like artist, album, and cover art from sources such as iTunes, Spotify, LastFM, Deezer, and Gaana. It uses youtube-dl for audio extraction and ffmpeg for conversion, writing ID3 tags automatically.
Use cases
- download songs from youtube as mp3 with proper tags
- add artist and album metadata to downloaded music
- fetch song info from itunes or spotify automatically
- build a tagged offline music library from youtube
- download high quality mp3s without ads
- batch download music with cover art and release date
When to choose
- you want tagged MP3s from YouTube, not raw audio files
- you prefer a CLI workflow over sketchy download sites
- you need metadata from multiple music sources like iTunes, Spotify, or Gaana
When to avoid
- you need video downloads, not audio-only
- you want a GUI desktop music manager
- downloading copyrighted music may be illegal in your jurisdiction
