There are some cuts in the video during downloading songs. This is because it sometimes longer for the song to download due to my internet and I wanted to save you some watch time. The method does actually work as shown at the start.

Commands/Scripts/Explanations/Links:
------------------------------------------------------------------
Editing the aliases.cmd file at 1:09 - Just add a '-i' as so :
[
@echo off
doskey yt_mp3=python -m yt_dlp -x --audio-quality 0 -i -o "LOCATION OF FOLDER YOU WANT TO DOWNLOAD MUSIC TO\%%(title)s.mp3" $*
]
Explanation in video.
Downloading all songs from a playlist at 2:22 - [ yt_mp3 PLAYLIST_URL ]
Website at 4:06, 4:34, 5:03 - https://pinetools.com/find-and-replace
Creating the script at 3:23 (note that what is here is different to what you see in video; this is better) -
[
import os
urls = [
]
for url in urls:
os.system('python -m yt_dlp -x --audio-quality 0 -o "C:/Users/M/Music/%(title)s.mp3" ' + '"' + url + '"')
]
'import os' - imports the 'os' module into python which allows us to do things like call cmd commands through python
'urls = [ ]' - create and empty list called 'urls'
'for url in urls' - iterate over all of the items in the 'urls' list, naming each 'url' in turn;
'os.system('python -m yt_dlp -x --audio-quality 0 -i -o "C:/Users/M/Music/%(title)s.mp3" ' + '"' + url + '"')' - with that url, call our download command.
running the bookmark downloading script at 7:09 - [ python mass_download.py ]
For all of the commands above, we could have also used 'youtube_dl' in palce of 'yt_dlp' (if that's what we used in the previous video), however I found that the latter has faster download speeds.
In the description of the last video I said that it doesn't matter whether we use backslashes (\) or forward slashes (/) for paths. However, when it comes to Python, it does matter. A backslash is a special character which 'escapes' the character after it. The forward slash is not a special character, and so we use a forward slash in our strings instead.
