Is there a way to download all the videos or only the audio of a YouTube playlist in one go instead of one video at a time?

yt-dlp -f bestaudio "<playlist link>"
you should add -x
that way you get opus audio in .opus container instead of .webm
probably, but I assumed OP could look up rest of it using keyword "yt-dlp"
It's valid tho
>B-BUT I CAN HEAR THE DIFFERENCE
suree
>It's valid tho
not unless you assume that OP is going to listen to music on a shitty mp3 player from 1990 instead of a pc/phone
>B-BUT I CAN HEAR THE DIFFERENCE
...no, that's not the point, you are literally getting a file that's twice as big, for same/worse quality
there's literally no reason to transcode to mp3 unless you really need to
>There are multiple streams anon. Highest opus is 160k.
no.
this "youtube has 160k opus" bullshit has to end, it's a misconseption created by the retarded yt-dlp devs that tagged it as such
I literally tested this, and you can as well, by uploading an audio file to youtube and comparing it to your own transcoded version, it perfectly matches vbr 128k for libopus 1.3/1.4.
Yes, it can spike up to 160k, but it can actually go even higher, the highest i've seen is 194 kbps or some shit like that, does that mean that youtube is encoding in 194 kbps vbr? no, that's not how it works
it doesn't even take a genius to figure this shit out, 99% of videos barely go over 140kbps, how does that 1% reaching 160 make it 160? learn how vbr works for christ's sake
btw there isn't any other opus stream that's even close to the one provided by the 251 itag so you must be retarded to think I was talking about 250 which is 64 kbps vbr
>>B-BUT I CAN HEAR THE DIFFERENCE
It's not about hearing a difference. It is just bad practice converting from one lossy codec to another. What modern hardware can't play an ogg file?
Is there a similar command for best video (with audio)?
yes.
yt-dlp "<playlist link>"
you are retarded.
thank you great anons
You can use yt-dlp to download a YouTube playlist as audio only with the following one-liner command:
yt-dlp -i --extract-audio --audio-format mp3 -o "%(title)s.%(ext)s" <playlist-url>
This command will download all videos in the given playlist and convert them to mp3 format.
-i option is used to ignore errors.
--extract-audio option is used to extract audio files.
--audio-format mp3 specifies the desired audio format.
-o "%(title)s.%(ext)s" specifies the output filename format.
Replace <playlist-url> with the URL of your playlist.
Please note that yt-dlp requires Python to run, and it also requires ffmpeg or avconv and ffprobe or avprobe to be installed on your system to convert video files to audio format.
yt-dlp does not need python if you don't install it from pip. Just get the 13 or so megabyte exe or binary file from their github. All necessary libraries are in it already.

>transcoding Opus 128k VBR to mp3
kill yourself
There are multiple streams anon. Highest opus is 160k.
& also OP is downloading audio FROM FUCKING YOUTUBE VIDEOS. OP propably don't give a shit about quality and if OP does or do in the future, then they are capable of doing it and don't ask these questions in the first place. Anons are actual fucking retards. Don't you think anything before crying and complaining?
>Is there a way to download all the videos
yt-dlp playlist
>or only the audio of a YouTube playlist in one go instead of one video at a time?
yt-dlp -x playlist
>--extract-audio option is used to extract audio files.
>--audio-format mp3 specifies the desired audio format.
What this does is it takes already lossy audio (quality depends on the specific video) and then transcodes it into an inferior lossy format (mp3). Why not just keep the original audio stream?
>Why not just keep the original audio stream?
because LULZ loves to use shitty codecs from 1990 and anything made after that date gets called a "meme codec"
>MUH COMPATIBILITY
>Why not just keep the original audio stream?
OP is type of person that asks audio question and doesn't understand anything about audio or know what is yt-dlp or how to use it. This type of person doesn't know what to do with audio.opus or what is flac. You are trying to be clever but you only show how fucking retarded you are. Think before writing. Of course mp3 is best for normies.
>This type of person doesn't know what to do with audio.opus
I don't know... maybe open it?
Windows has supported opus since Windows 10
Android supports opus since Lollipop
Rhythmbox or any other media player that ships with linux distro has supported opus for a decade
Everyone acts like anything other than mp3 is some obscure format that needs some hacky stuff to work when in reality, it just works.
>OP propably don't give a shit about quality
you just replied to 2 posts which explain it has nothing to do with sound quality with this shit
can't you fucking read?
oh and if he has a shitty Apple device which doesn't have out of the box support for opus, he can just rip the 128k cbr AAC instead, which even the Nintendo DSi from 2007 will play just fine
stop trying to justify using mp3 in 2023 for fuck's sake
And after all of your crying, normie just looks that file and thinks "is this word document or malware?" when looking file ending opus. You are mentally ill, get help.
why would he think it's malware if the OS recognizes it as an audio file and displays the same icon an mp3 would???
also why the fuck would he assume the stuff he ripped from youtube is a malware in the first place?
>all of your crying
>You are mentally ill, get help.
just shut the fuck up already lol
Why exactly are you mad here? I typed a concise answer to OP and a reply to someone who is providing bad advice.
>Of course mp3 is best for normies.
As you said yourself, if he doesn't know the difference between the formats, why not tell him to download the best one?
Seal on jeetdroids for the lazy sirs
how do i create a custom playlist??? aaaaa i dont wanna sign up for a google account aaaaaaa
