Question:
Is it possible to download a song from Youtube Music using youtube-dl?
When I try to use the url to the song, I recieve this error message.
Need 11 character video id or the URL of the video. Got https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=BzsrqaLgdpk
Answers:
It seems to just work. Make sure your youtube-dl is up to date i.e. youtube-dl version 2020.09.20 you can find out your version using youtube-dl -v.
i did not actually understand the above, however i indeed used "youtube-dl" and the url copied from the browser address bar and originally got an error. I than single-quoted the the url address on the commandline (linux) and youtube-dl went into the process of downloading the file. This is for
‘https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=axmBtBOlbVU’.
the single quotes did it.
