PyYTsync

A python script for converting a YouTube playlist to mp3 files and pushing them to another folder for device synchronisation

Requirements

• python 2.7.12+
• pip install youtube_dl

Usage

python path/to/file/sync.py -p https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAYLIST_URL [-l path/to/sync/folder/]

Explanation

The script does the following:

• downloads all of the videos in the playlist and converts them to mp3 files
• saves the mp3 files in an output directory (in the same place as the script)
• if path/to/sync/folder/ is specified, it will also copy all of the mp3 files to the sync folder

My Setup

• Windows Task Scheduler to automatically run the script at 10pm every night
• sync folder is a folder in my Dropbox account
• on my phone I have "Dropsync" installed which will automatically download and delete files from my sync folder when I'm connected to WiFi
