mix-dl

Automatically downloads and conversts to mp3 the youtube mix playlist for any number of artists. Uses youtube-dl, so make sure you have it installed in your machine.

How it works

It adds the keyword "mix" to the artist name, searches on Youtube filtering only playlists and downloads the first result playlist with youtube-dl, extracting audio and converting it to mp3 format.

Automatically adds --no-overwrites, --continue and --ignore-errors options. Also uses --min-views options to only download videos with at least 1000 views.

Usage

Make sure you have NodeJS at least v8.

npm i -g mix-dl

or

yarn global add mix-dl

That's it. Now just use it like this:

mix-dl [ARTISTS] [OPTIONS]

Example:

mix-dl "Bob Marley" "Charlie Brown Jr" -n 20

Where -n is the number of songs per artist, which defaults to 30.

Options

• n INT - number of songs to download defaults to 25
• f STRING - folder name to download to mix-downloads
• v - verbose mode on defaults to false
• m INT - minimum views defaults to 1000
• d - debug mode on defaults to false

Todo

• Use --match-title option to only download songs containing artist name
• Download each artist to it's own folder
• Add better interface
• Better find playlists
