Description

A playlist downloader for Linux: a YouTube playlist downloader, a SoundCloud playlist downloader and a Bandcamp album downloader in one app. Search YouTube playlists by keyword, or paste a playlist link from YouTube, YouTube Music, SoundCloud, Bandcamp, Vimeo, Mixcloud, Dailymotion, Twitch and hundreds of other sites, pick the items you want and download the whole playlist as video or audio: playlist to MP3, YouTube playlist to MP3, or MP4, MKV and WebM up to 4K.

Find a playlist

• Search YouTube playlists by keyword, with suggestions as you type.
• Paste a playlist link from any site the download engine reads, or a link to a single video or track.
• Browse the playlist: every item with its thumbnail and length, pick the ones you want, select a range, filter and sort.

Play

• A built-in browser for any site: sign in once, watch without ads, open pages in tabs, go full screen, and download what the page shows with one button.

Download

• Save the selected items as MP4, MKV or WebM up to 4K, or audio only as MP3, M4A, Opus, FLAC or WAV, with subtitles, cover art and metadata embedded on request.
• A playlist file (M3U8) next to the downloaded files, so your music player plays the whole playlist offline in order.
• A queue that pauses, resumes and retries, files sorted into a folder per playlist and numbered in playlist order, notifications with Show in folder.
• The download engine sets itself up on first use and keeps itself updated. Your sign-ins are reused, so members-only and age-restricted items download too.

Made for the desktop

• Light and dark themes, a tray icon, taskbar progress, native Wayland and X11.
• An alternative to 4K Video Downloader, 4K YouTube to MP3, JDownloader and online playlist to MP3 converters, with no ads and no watermarks.
• Single instance: playlist-dl <link> opens the link, playlist-dl --download <link> queues it.
