First-time Setup

• Due to rate limiting issues, users must provide their own YouTube and/or Soundcloud API keys.

1. Obtain an API key for the service(s) you want to use.
   • For YouTube API, please enable at least the youtube scope.
2. Launch the program, paste the API key(s) via Menu > Settings, then save.

How to obtain playlist IDs

• YouTube playlist IDs: Grab the part of the playlist URL in /playlist?list=[...]
• Soundcloud playlist ID: Under a playlist, click Share > Embed and in the Code box, look for the numbers in api.soundcloud.com/playlists/[...]

Usage Notes

• Windows OS only
• Please ensure your API quota has not been met. This prevents errors and fragmented backups.
• Ensure all playlists are public/unlisted, otherwise the program has no access.
• By default, backups save into the program's backup folder.
• This program cannot catch YouTube videos that have been georestricted in your region, showing up as 'unavailable videos' in playlists. To identify such songs: play a playlist, press CTRL+F, and type video blocked in country. Georestricted videos should be highlighted in the playlist side-menu. This feature has been removed at this time. At the moment, you can only find the number of georestricted videos: Play a playlist and scroll to the bottom where it should say 'X unavailable videos are hidden'.
