One of my favourite applications. I stopped paying for spotify and just use this to get music these days. Everything gets uploaded to youtube anyways.
Downloading music from YouTube will get you MP3s, but they will have gone through the YT compression algorithms.
Use Deemix instead. Downloads MP3s straight from the Deezer servers with all metadata and album art.
I wrote my own web app in Python, using pytube-fix and its lightning fast. Great library. I found a recent screenshot that’s a bit behind in commits but you get the idea.
Edit: I published the source code, please note there is a LOT of work left to do, but it works. https://codeberg.org/ArtisanByteCrafter/pytube-gui
I didn’t see anything like this image in the pytube-fix repo. Do you have a repo of the web interface somewhere? That looks really handy.
Will do! Edit: done: https://codeberg.org/ArtisanByteCrafter/pytube-gui
Thanks! Would you happen to know how to install with pipx? I don’t fully understand Python venv stuff, but I followed instructions on how to install yt-dlp using pipx. I’m not clear on whether I could do that with your app.
So, pipx only installs a single package into an isolated environment, and my app has a list of package dependencies that must all work together. If you run the instructions in my readme line by line, you should get it working, but I understand sometimes that’s not the way everyone wants to do things in a one-off manner. I have been spending some time this week getting my Dockerfile finalized and my build scripts working, so I hope to have a docker image ready within a few weeks at least of the application in its current state.
It’s not a big deal - I was just wondering. I will keep watching your repo. Thanks.
