If you have enough technical computer knowledge to put commands in a terminal I highly recommend you check out and install Youtube-dlp (yt-dlp) I am an avid hoarder of music on my mp3 player and love being able to download a whole playlist from youtube (and other sites like bandcamp, soundcloud, vimeo, ect) and have it auto convert to music format and optionally number them in playlist order, with one command. It works with windows and most operating systems.
The best part is that theres no illegal activity involved. It uses the same technologies and rules a web browser uses to download and stream stuff normally.
I appreciate that, but unless you can automate it through an iPhone app, I'm not interested. My life is complicated enough and I want my music access to be seamless.
