FWIW I've never seen this happen. In fact, I've handed Youtube Music URLs to yt-dlp and so far haven't had any problems downloading the content. (Admittedly I don't do this often; but at least one of the things I downloaded was a soundtrack by Disney, whom I'd expect to be more strict about this sort of thing.)

- midoridensha 3y agoyoutube-dl is not really developed any more. yt-dlp is the program everyone should be using.
- mvdtnz 3y agoI have a script that uses ytdlp to download every item on a Youtube Music playlist I maintain so sync mp3's to my watch. I have never seen it error out from DRM.
