I’m on iphone
yt-dlp
can download playlists.My experience has been that if you download absolutely massive numbers, Google will ban your IP for anonymous access for some weeks.
I guess you can still use it on the phone with termux.
How does this avoid the ban risk?
I don’t think it does.
If you’re using mobile data rather than WiFi off a home network, I suppose.
I don’t see how that would help. Your device is still connecting to YouTube. It can still be banned.
I don’t think it does.
You can also try Pinchflat, Its a web front end for yt-dlp, super easy to install ASA docker container.
pinchflat can also subscribe to a user and auto dl new videos
You can use your browser cookies to circumvent the ban
I avoid getting Google accounts; if I don’t sign in, no cookies.
Switch to an Android device (Where you can use Seal from F-Droid) or Linux (Where you can use Parabolic), copy the link of the playlist into the app, hit download.
Why are people downvoting you?
Edit: I guess it’s because you offered an impractical solution.
“I’m on iphone” means you don’t have a lot of options. You can get youtube premium and just use their download feature.
Youtube Premium also includes Youtube Music, which allows downloading music-specific playlists for offline listening, but you’re stuck playing them in the Youtube Music app, AFAIK.
