YouTube to MP3 Auto Tagger

A GUI wrapper for yt-dlp that downloads YouTube videos to MP3 and automatically adds ID3 tags based on uploader name, title, and thumbnail

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,FILENAME_OVERRIDE     (HH:MM:SS  Timestamp Format)

FILENAME_OVERRIDE is optional and only available if specifying a time range.
- Processed files will be automatically renamed to contain what is in this field. This is useful for videos that have multiple songs you want to download in them (so you can tell which file is which).

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)

Requirements

The packages/programs below must be accessible from any path. (If you are on Windows these will need to be in your PATH environment variable)
- ffmpeg
- yt-dlp
- Java 11 or above

You must also have one of the following browsers installed and have used it to log into YouTube. This is to mitigate yt-dlp from being blocked by YouTube

brave, chrome, chromium, edge, firefox, opera, safari, vivaldi, whale

Although this program comes with some rate-limit circumvention techniques, videos may still be possible for downloads to fail. When this is the case, try again later

You can either run it like an application

For a debug log run it as java -jar ytID3AutoTag.jar from the terminal
