Download YouTube playlists: video or audio
Downloading a 40-video playlist one link at a time is misery. This tool takes a playlist URL (the kind containing list=) and lets you work through its videos efficiently, as MP4 video or MP3 audio, with real file sizes and a live progress bar for each item.
The full walkthrough, including which format to pick per playlist type, is in our guide: how to download a whole YouTube playlist.
YouTube Music playlists work too
Links copied from music.youtube.com are handled exactly like ordinary YouTube playlist links, so you can paste a playlist straight from YouTube Music, switch to MP3 and save the tracks you want at 320kbps. Mixes are the exception: those endless radio-style playlists, whose links start with RD, are generated for each listener as they play, so there is no fixed list to read. Private playlists need a signed-in account, and we never ask for yours, but unlisted ones work fine.
Official releases are also the tracks most often blocked by region. If a handful of songs in a playlist refuse to convert while the rest go through, that is almost always the reason, and it is decided by the rights holder rather than by anything on your side.
