# ytID3AutoTag
A GUI wrapper for yt-dlp that downloads YouTube videos to MP3 and automatically adds ID3 tags based on uploader name, title, and thumbnail. The GUI should be fairly self explanatory.

The code itself uses a pretty old taging library so there's a weird hack in there with converting file names to ASCII first and then back to the original UTF-8 (in cases of non-ASCII chars)

# Manual
If you don't want to use the built-in GUI builder to create a "task file", you can write it manually in your file of choice

Each line will be treated as a download job (video), you may use either the full `youtube.com` or shortened  `youtu.be` link
```
URL,START_TIME-END_TIME     (HH:MM:SS  Timestamp Format)
```

ex: `https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvj_QSqOrBw,00:01:10-00:01:40`
- Download video `https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvj_QSqOrBw` from `1 min 10s` to `1 min 40s` (30s total)
