   @ajroach42 Oh dear. It would be unfortunate if anyone with a PC running Windows, Mac, or Linux installed this free tool at the link below. Imagine the damage to the intellectual property rights of the corporation Alphabet if anyone were to use it to anonymously and freely download ad-free content from YouTube (and apparently, GPM). Imagine the disrespect to copyright law, the contempt to Google’s business model. For shame. https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp

     It appears (??) that yt-dlp works with youtube music, if you're signed in to youtube music.

     Of course, it strips metadata and downloads opus files by default, but I think I'm find with both of those things.

     [edit, if you --emebed-metadata it does do that thing.]

     It's probably a violation of goog's TOS and would totally be copyright infringement, if you weren't downloading, say, music from the american public domain.

     jwhevans repeated this.
