It also has an ad-blocker built in so according to LTT it's piracy.

What is LTT?
I assume Linus tech tips but not sure why that's brought up here
Cause Linus is a fucking moron and a corporate shill and says that adblock is piracy.
Show us on the doll where Linus touched you
Anyone whose seen any videos of his knows he’s a moron; I think that it is the appeal
Like he made a budget pc build and used the full budget on a graphics card because “you will just upgrade the rest of it later” or “I already had this part so it’s free”
Everyone is allowed to have their opinion on any person/company/yt channel/...
I was just poking some fun at this guy's grudge being so insane that he has to bring it up in a thread about a YouTube music desktop app
A garbage YouTube channel run by a dumb moron who doesn't know the difference between adblock and piracy.
He made a video about how using adblock is piracy.
So from his standpoint, it's equal.
Still a terrible take though.
He can absolutely make a video and still be uneducated
so youtube-dl (forgot the other better tool name) but with automatic tagging? Neat!
I think yt-dlp is the one you mean. It's truly better.
Yep, that one.
I used both this and yt-dlp for downloading albums. This seems smoother since it has a UI.
CLI>GUI
Nah, it's a matter of personnal preferences and use case.
I love CLI mainly because it allows me to sceipt suff, but lots of people don't mind actually seeing what they are doing and clicking on stuff to achieve it.
It's a good news there are piracy tools with a CLI, makes it more accessible to more people - and we should rejoice about it.
Executable with GUI and supplied CLI executable.
Best of both worlds.
For lots of archiving you want scripting. Same for whole albums of songs (i assume every song one item).
That is why cli>gui. In other use cases gui is better (complex video editing via ffmpeg alone would be interesting for example). And then there is jdownloader :(
Imo, the more complex and visual a task, the more likely it is for a gui to be preferable.
