Same here and my motivation was that some of my liked videos were randomly removed and it's pretty cool music I wanted to keep forever.
I made another script that adds the video thumbnail as album art and somehow tries to put the proper ID3 tags, it works like 90% of the time which is good enough for me.
Then I made another script that syncs it to my phone when I connect it.
So now I have unlimited music in my phone and I only have to click on "Like" to add more.

- moralestapia 1y agoNo.
- anamexis 1y agoHow so? What’s missing?

- moralestapia 1y ago* Several hundred million tracks that are not labeled as "music" by uploaders, to start. * Native integration with my phone music player, allowing for things like seamless playback, etc. * Things I like on YouTube automatically go to my device. * If a track is removed from YouTube, it stays on my device. (Did you take 10 seconds to read my comment above?)
- anamexis 1y ago* Every Youtube video is playable on the Youtube music app. * There is a liked videos playlist Yes, I read your comment above. Regarding the other two points, it is of course understandable why you'd want to download and have your own solution. But that is also obviously not an issue with Google engineers/PMs neglecting to think of a feature.
- moralestapia 1y agoGreat. I'll keep using mine, though.
- FergusArgyll 1y agoI have a script that calls out to a small llm artist = llm_call("return the name of the artist based on this title", title) etc. with some stripping of newlines etc. It works well! they can often infer the correct answer even if it's not present in the title
- moralestapia 1y agoHey ^^, that's a great idea. I wrote all of this stuff pre-LLMs, never occurred to me until now, thanks!
- dylan604 1y agoI doubt that it’s a nobody else situation, and it’s more of a management doesn’t want it as it takes away the need for their own streaming offerings. Music industry also doesn’t want it, as there’s no more royalties coming in. Can’t release an app that pisses of the industry.
