We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

or me casualty saving music I like into a playlist, revisitng it a year later
"57 tracks that are no longer available are hidden"
Japanese citypop playlists in a nutshell
I'll just leave this here: https://github.com/jmbannon/ytdl-sub
It's a tool that watches YouTube channels or playlists, downloads everything, and prepares them so they appear directly in players like Plex, Jellyfin, Kodi etc. Basically the equivalent of the *arr stack for YouTube.
And the grown up version of that is /r/tubearchivist (it also includes a plugin to sync to Jellyfin).
ytdl-sub author here, I kindly disagree calling it a child's version of TA 🙂 Minus the elastic-search/player, its scraping features I think are a superset of TA while being incredibly lightweight (at the cost of being a CLI tool).
I too am a connoisseur of music vids and concerts, it's actually one of the main reasons I built ytdl-sub. Feel free to ping me with any questions - happy to help
If only it had a GUI interface for those who CBF figuring out how to configure a command line interface.
See comment above yours.
there is a version like that called ytdlp-interface. i love it, it even has sponserblock built in and its easy to use
Thanks！！that's really a handy tool I will share it with my wife!
I feel this. Especially if you can’t remember some of the songs or mixes in the list.
You can still get them if you use a tool like Snap Downloader. Put the playlist URL into the search and it will show the URL of every video that has been removed. Search each one individually on Wayback Machine and enter the Wayback URL for that video. Works more often than not, but you have to sift through instances sometimes.
I also want to add that you can use an extension that automatically submits pages that you go to on your computer to The Wayback Machine so that, even if it is deleted, you can easily find the artist and song by searching on Wayback Machine. The easiest way to archive it for someone who doesn't have a lot of technical knowledge is to turn the extension on, mute your computer, and then let your entire playlist run on 2x speed (or whatever the fastest is) while you sleep.
Is this the easiest way of backing things up? No. Is it possibly more convenient to download the media for your own collection? Yeah, but if your technical knowledge is limited or if you don't currently have access to a lot of storage space, this could probably be of use.
This.
I learned that back in the days of "this video is not available in your country because Sony/BMG/GEMA/whoever said so."
It was magic tricks for me :/
