So let's say I have a playlist with 3 videos that I want to download as MP3, I'll just do :

'youtube-dl [playlist link here] --playlist-start 1 --extract-audio --audio-format mp3'

Ok, so I download the playlist, but then I add 3 new videos, and I want to download them too. If I execute the same command as before, it will download ALL the videos in the playlist, even the ones that were already downloaded before.

How can I make it so that it doesn't download the playlist videos that are already downloaded?

Use --download-archive.

I tried to use it, but it seems to require an argument (the list of IDs of all downloaded videos)??

It requires the filename to know where to store and look for the downloaded videos.
