spotify-dl is impressive. I'd recommend adding some basic levenstein or nlp to verify the youtube video matches the search term

Can you give me some examples?

Sure, something like this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5859561/getting-the-closest-string-match The idea is to use Levenshtein distance to ensure that what the track/artist that was searched for is a close match to what YouTube results return

The idea is to use Levenshtein distance to ensure that what the track/artist that was searched for is a close match to what YouTube results return

How?

For example, if user enters Emenem and if YT returns no results, we should search for strings which are close match to Emenem?

So task here is to generate strings based on some fixed Levenshtein distance (may be .9+) and search for those?

That's one option - the other way of looking is to calculate the distance of what was searched vs what was returned from the search and if it's beyond a threshold then don't download it

Before the algorithm is run, the title should be tested against a white and blacklist. For example titles like [Artist]-[Song] (Official *music video*) should be automatically passed but titles containing remix or mashup shouldn't be downloaded
