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_playlist

I 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.

I'm on the revanced version of the yt music app.

I had found an app called Vivi that promised auto downloading of songs but it hated my phone and would freeze. I put in an issue via their github.

try Metrolist

Then the option should be there. Just go to the "Library" tab and tap on the 3 dots. Then you can go to the queue and save it as a playlist. Alternatively, you can just clear the queue and then play the first song.

Somebody already mentioned it but I recommend Seal

Okay after messing around a bit I'm seeing that it having an issue adding all 3.1k songs to a play list, so this is not going to be as easy as I hoped for but can be done.

I thank all for the assistance.
