On windows, just double click on YouTube to flac.bat to launch the script. Otherwise, launch the ytb_flac.py with python (python ytb_flac.py)

First, you'll have to enter a youtube link to download, video or playlist, both work

Then, you'll have two type of choices :

• download your music into a saved directory
• download in a new directory, that will be saved for the next time

1. If you selected a pre-saved directory, you can download in a new sub-directory (as for the band), or leave it blank

2. If you selected to create a new directory, you'll have to create the location (use / and not \ !). After that, you'll have to do the step above.

After that, the download begins...

And... your music/playlist is downloaded !
