ytID3AutoTag

A GUI wrapper for yt-dlp that downloads YouTube videos to MP3 and automatically adds ID3 tags based on uploader name, title, and thumbnail. The GUI should be fairly self explanatory.

The code itself uses a pretty old taging library so there's a weird hack in there with converting file names to ASCII first and then back to the original UTF-8 (in cases of non-ASCII chars)

Manual

If you don't want to use the built-in GUI builder to create a "task file", you can write it manually in your file of choice

Each line will be treated as a download job (video), you may use either the full youtube.com or shortened youtu.be link
