How to download playlist from Youtube?

  • 772

I need to download a Youtube playlist as mp3 audio. What is the most convenient way to do this on Ubuntu? I tried:

youtube-dl --ignore-errors --format bestaudio --extract-audio --audio-format mp3 --audio-quality 160K --output "%(title)s.%(ext)s" --yes-playlist ...

It didn't work. Any suggestions?

  1. try to Update "youtube-dl" using:

    sudo youtube-dl -U

    Sometime, under Linux the URL can cause problem, so you can only use the "ID", not the complete URL

    like :

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_FTuCckY34&list=RDCLAK5uy_kT4N8v_Q_Q3eFXmkdTMUWDlVlgrnLnmxE&start_radio=1

    Playlist ID is: RDCLAK5uy_kT4N8v_Q_Q3eFXmkdTMUWDlVlgrnLnmxE

    Video ID is: n_FTuCckY34

  2. There is a good video downloader (4K Download) that lets you download videos from various platforms with YouTube being one of their renowned targets. It equally has an option to download a playlist.

    Note: I'm not affiliated, and can't also list steps of a solution here. The best thing I'll tell you to do is to visit the above-mentioned link ("hopefully no link issues come up one-day"), and enjoy!

  3. Previously, if there is a desire or need to download audio, you should engage the appropriate knowledge. Nowadays, a lot of knowledge is not required for such actions; click on the download button at mp3search.FM, and that's it. Your music is installed on your hard drive. After that, you will be able to share your music or listen to it yourself without any difficulties. I mostly use it for working out (running on the street) or on the road. Usually, my friends and I play the downloaded songs if we don't have mobile internet.
