I’m using SoulSeek. Is there any way to speed up the process?

    There’s actually dozens of projects on GitHub providing this kind of stuff, I even did a script to download music from YouTube given an specific ID, I use this as an alias, when I want to download something I type ytmp3-download [VIDEO IDs...] in the terminal, it requires yt-dlp package:

    ytmp3-download() {
        # Check if at least one video ID is provided
        if [ $# -eq 0 ]; then
            echo "Usage: ytmp3-download VIDEO_ID [VIDEO_ID...]"
            echo "Example: ytmp3-download abc123 def456 ghi789"
            return 1
        fi
    
        # Check if yt-dlp is installed
        if ! command -v yt-dlp &> /dev/null; then
            echo "Error: yt-dlp is not installed. Install it first:"
            echo "sudo apt install yt-dlp"
            return 1
        fi
    
        # Build URLs from video IDs
        local urls=()
        for id in "$@"; do
            urls+=("https://youtube.com/watch?v=%24id")
        done
    
        # Download all videos as MP3
        yt-dlp -x --audio-format mp3 -f "ba" --embed-metadata --embed-thumbnail --extractor-args "youtube:player-client=default,-tv_simply" -o "%(title)s.%(ext)s" "${urls[@]}"
    }
    

    But if your playlists are in another place like Spotify etc… there’s also tools for that.

    I want to improve this downloading the original metadata given a music title and insert into the .mp3 file, it’s currently pulling from yt.
