VLC can also play youtube URLs directly I legitimately did not know this, thanks for the knowledge share! Can it follow playlist s of videos? There's a few video game streamers whose commentary and remarks are so funny and well written I find myself listening to them more like a podcast than watching the video, so I'm often queuing up playlists and having the background noise while doing house chores and the like

VLC can't play YouTube playlists natively, but there's a VLC add-on that supports doing so: https://addons.videolan.org/content/show.php/+Youtube+playlist?content=149909 https://addons.videolan.org/content/show.php/+Youtube+playli... Also, mpv can use youtube-dl if both are installed to play YouTube playlists, e.g.: mpv https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhyKYa0YJ_5DfJnFBZwz8xd37MA6I16oJ Note that you need to pass it the link to the playlist itself and not a video in the playlist: https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/wiki/FAQ#How_can_I_play_YouTube_playlists https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/wiki/FAQ#How_can_I_play_Yo...

Well, if you're on Mac and if you want to forgo the playback speed controls (like for, music) I can also recommend Vox earlier versions (2.8.26)[0] It is an audio player with the youtube-list-as-playlist feature. In my experience, it generally delivers a better sound quality of the same videos than youtube. Copy the url (make sure it's /?list=<id>). Hit Cmd + U, paste, <Enter>. Then optionally download the extension for using keyboard buttons[1] and control playback from there. Or you can always use `youtube-dl -ix /?list=` then open the resulting files with .opus extension with your favorite player.
