I couldn’t find a solid tool to download YouTube playlists in high-quality audio formats with full control, so I wrote a Python script using yt-dlp.

🔧 Features:

• Download entire YouTube playlists to .mp3, .m4a, .flac, .opus, .wav, etc.
• Choose bitrate: 128 / 192 / 256 / 320 kbps or max available
• Batch download multiple playlists at once
• Embed metadata: title, artist, album, and cover art
• Open-source, lightweight, CLI-based

I use it mainly for organizing music offline (e.g. for car or backup), but figured some of you might find it handy too.
