As title says. I have a music.youtube liked playlist of over 3k songs and I would like to get them onto my phone. I have yet to find a way to do this just from the liked music playlist. Is it even possible?
You can use yt-dlp with the -x flag to extract the audio with the link to the playlist. You can specify the audio format too, it’s a powerful tool.
yt-dlp -x link_to_playlistI had tried that without the flag and I got an error stating YouTube music isn’t supported on my phone.
I did some testing, it looks like the auto generated “Liked Music” playlist doesn’t have a proper URL that can point to the music.
A workaround seems to be adding the playlist to the queue, then saving the queue to a new playlist, and using that new playlist URL.
That way you can remove the “music.” part from the “music.youtube.com” and use it like a regular YouTube playlist.
If that doesn’t work for you it might be a DRM issue with how your phone is attempting to download the data. I used my desktop.
I don’t see an option to add entire queue to a play list, only the individual song currently playing.
I appreciate the help though.

yt-dlp is so good
Using YTDLnis on android I get this error:

I do know that not all music.youtube likes get transfered to basic YouTube.
It’s the playlist link that’s the problem. It ends with
playlist?list=LMwhich stands for “Liked Music”. The downloader doesn’t know your account’s liked music playlist. It needs a playlist ID likeplaylist?list=PLO7q4X25LQEEyJAQe5EEwJxUCSKvuKbokBasically you need the songs to be in a different playlist
If you’re on PC, you can also grab cookies from a browser to use liked playlists, but I don’t know if it’ll work for YTM likes, as I don’t know if that playlist actually exists on normal YouTube.
Yes, this. The best app if you want to do it via the phone and it does accept playlist links.
Possibly using yt-dlp or one of the dozens of frontends for it. I don’t know if it works for YouTube Music, but it’s free and easy to use, so you might as well give it a shot.
