v0.6.0
This release turns the app into a real playlist editor — change your YouTube Music playlists directly, no browser round-trips.
✨ Edit your playlists
- Add / remove songs — right-click a song (or use its Details) to add it to another playlist or remove it. Changes apply instantly on your account.
- Bulk edits — shift/⌘-click to select many songs, then add or remove them all at once.
- Remove repeated songs — right-click a playlist to delete the extra copies of any song listed more than once (keeps one).
✨ Create playlists
Make a new YouTube Music playlist from a selection of songs (right-click → "New playlist from…") or from the combined songs of your selected playlists ("Create Playlist from Selected"). It's created on your account and imported into the app.
✨ Custom song names
Give a song your own searchable name — great for titles with unusual characters or in another language. Shows in a "Custom Name" column and is matched by the Search box; the real title always stays in Details.
✨ Never lose a removed song
When you update a playlist, any song that got taken down/removed is archived (title + artist) in that playlist's Removed Songs, so you can still find it. You can also Export any playlist to CSV.
🛡 Smarter & safer
- Edit actions know which playlists you own and grey out the ones you can't edit.
- Header-requiring operations check your session up front, so the queue/create no longer grinds for seconds only to fail at the end on expired headers — you're prompted to refresh immediately.
Installing on macOS
- Download YouTubeMusicPlaylistManager-0.6.0-macOS.zip below and unzip it.
- Move YouTube Music Playlist Manager.app to your Applications folder.
- The app isn't notarized by Apple (that needs a paid developer account), so macOS blocks it on first launch. The simplest fix: double-click it once (it gets blocked), then open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll to the Security section, and click Open Anyway next to "YouTube Music Playlist Manager."
- Or, clear the quarantine flag in Terminal:
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/YouTube Music Playlist Manager.app" - (On older macOS you can also right-click the app → Open → Open.)
- Or, clear the quarantine flag in Terminal:
Most features (editing, creating playlists, the queue) need a one-time queue-header setup in Settings → Set Queue Headers. Your data and headers stay local.
