Im currently using MeTube to download a huge playlist for my DJ sets
and it takes ages because it downloads songs that are already
downloaded. Is there a smarter solution, that recognizes already
downloaded videos and skips them?


Any suggestions are welcome!

MeTube uses yt-dlp, you can use yt-dlp directly from the command line
and feed it a (bash) script that downloads the files one line after
another. Use Google for examples or ask ChatGPT. Or make a playlist
with all the songs on Spotify and use spotdl to download the songs
from YouTube.

You can install yt-dlp and run a script to download the playlist and
convert to MP3. But if you don't need to be in MP3 format, you can
take a look at
[tubearchivist](https://github.com/tubearchivist/tubearchivist). It'll
download the videos from the channel, playlist or just the video.
It'll keep a log and doesn't redownload the same video.
