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. 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.
