Hey guys i have been using Navidrome to stream my music from my server and its been amazing. I primarily use YT Music because of discoverability so I have all of my “primary” playlists (about 8 of them really, but supporting a somewhat arbitrary limit would be nice) in YouTube.

Im looking for an automated way to download the music and keep my navidrome instance updated with a couple playlists. I started working on some Python script to handle it, but its just not working super well so i would prefer to use someone elses solution haha.

Anyone have any good recommendations? I tried this one but I couldn’t actually find the music and it seems to only support one playlist at a time. It would also be nice to download the album art and set some ID3 tags too

      If you prefer Rust, yaydl (disclosure: I wrote it) would be an alternative to yt-dlp. (Patches welcome - right now, I much depend on Invidious to get YouTube contents.)

      +1 for Beets - awesome software!

      Yeah I am using yt-dlp to download the music, and I can set that on a cronjob no problem.

      I am specifically asking for better downloading (I don’t want just the raw YouTube title most of the time), album art, and ID3 tagging. But that beets.io thing looks super cool! I might integrate that into my existing python scripting instead of trying to build it all out myself

        Download with yt-dlp. All of it. Even into a single folder if that’s easier.

        Then run it all through Picard and that’ll do everything else for you - albumart, metadata, folders, filenames, the lot.

        Anything that Picard doesn’t know about, enter it into the MusicBrainz db to give back to the community.

        Done.
