 - ✅ **Default channel file**: If no --file is specified for songlist-only or latest-per-channel modes, automatically uses data/channels.txt as the default channel list.
 - ✅ **Robust interruption handling**: Progress is saved after each download, and files are checked for existence before downloading to prevent re-downloads if the process is interrupted.
 - ✅ **Optimized scanning performance**: High-performance channel scanning with O(n×m) complexity, pre-processed lookups, and early termination for faster matching of large songlists and channels.
+- ✅ **Centralized yt-dlp command generation**: Standardized command building and execution across all download operations
+- ✅ **Enhanced error handling**: Structured exception hierarchy with consistent error messages and formatting
+- ✅ **Abstracted download pipeline**: Reusable download → verify → tag → track process for consistent processing

 - **Reset/Clear:** Use `--reset-channel` to reset all tracking and files for a channel (optionally including songlist songs with `--reset-songlist`). Use `--clear-cache` to clear cached video lists for a channel or all channels.

+- **`youtube_utils.py`**: Centralized yt-dlp command generation and YouTube operations
+- **`error_utils.py`**: Standardized error handling with structured exception hierarchy
+- **`download_pipeline.py`**: Abstracted download pipeline for consistent processing

+### **Benefits Achieved**
+- **Reduced Duplication**: Eliminated ~50 lines of duplicated yt-dlp command generation
+- **Improved Maintainability**: Changes to yt-dlp configuration only require updates in one place
+- **Enhanced Error Handling**: Consistent error messages and better debugging context
+- **Better Code Organization**: Clear separation of concerns and logical module structure
+- **Increased Testability**: Modular components can be tested independently
 - **Download plan pre-scan:** Before downloading, the tool scans all channels for songlist matches, builds a download plan, and prints stats (matches, unmatched, per-channel breakdown). The plan is cached for 1 day and reused unless --force-download-plan is set.
 - **Latest-per-channel plan:** Download the latest N videos from each channel, with a per-channel plan and robust resume. Each channel is removed from the plan as it completes. Plan cache is deleted when all channels are done.
 - **Fast mode with early exit:** When a limit is set, the tool scans channels and songs in order, downloads immediately when a match is found, and stops as soon as the limit is reached with successful downloads. This provides much faster performance for small limits compared to the full pre-scan approach.
