I was scrolling the IG and this reel poped up.
He shared this fantastic list of music, and as someone who loves discovering new tunes, I couldn’t wait to listen to each one. Some songs like ‘Take it Easy’ by The Eagles and ‘All along the Watchtower’ by Jimi Hendrix were already favorites of mine. But the excitement to explore the rest of the list pushed me to find a way to download these songs from YouTube. Thankfully, I came across Pytube, which made it super easy for me to save the entire playlist to my computer. Now, I can enjoy these tunes anytime, anywhere.
I started my jupyterlab server and did the following
from pytube import YouTube
from pytube import Search
def download_audio_by_name(video_name, output_path):
try:
search_results = Search(video_name)
if len(search_results.results) > 0:
yt = YouTube(search_results.results[0].watch_url)
audio_stream = yt.streams.filter(only_audio=True).first()
audio_stream.download(output_path)
print(f"Audio for video '{video_name}' downloaded successfully!")
else:
print(f"No video found with the name '{video_name}'.")
except Exception as e:
print("Error:", str(e))
