# 🎤 Karaoke Video Downloader
A Python-based Windows CLI tool to download karaoke videos from YouTube channels/playlists using `yt-dlp.exe`, with advanced tracking, songlist prioritization, and flexible configuration.
## ✨ Features
- 🎵 **Channel & Playlist Downloads**: Download all videos from a YouTube channel or playlist
- 📂 **Organized Storage**: Each channel gets its own folder in `downloads/`
- 📝 **Robust Tracking**: Tracks all downloads, statuses, and formats in JSON
- 🏆 **Songlist Prioritization**: Prioritize or restrict downloads to a custom songlist
- 🔄 **Batch Saving & Caching**: Efficient, minimizes API calls
- 🏷️ **ID3 Tagging**: Adds artist/title metadata to MP4 files
- 🧹 **Automatic Cleanup**: Removes extra yt-dlp files
- 📈 **Real-Time Progress**: Detailed console and log output
## 📋 Requirements
- **Windows 10/11**
- **Python 3.7+**
- **yt-dlp.exe** (in `downloader/`)
- **mutagen** (for ID3 tagging, optional)
## 🚀 Quick Start
### Download a Channel
```bash
python download_karaoke.py https://www.youtube.com/@SingKingKaraoke/videos
```
### Download from a List of Channels
```bash
python download_karaoke.py --file data/channels.txt
```
### Download Only Songlist Songs
```bash
python download_karaoke.py --songlist-only
```
### Prioritize Songlist in Download Queue
```bash
python download_karaoke.py --songlist-priority
```
### Show Songlist Download Progress
```bash
python download_karaoke.py --songlist-status
```
### Limit Number of Downloads
```bash
python download_karaoke.py --limit 5
```
### Override Resolution
```bash
python download_karaoke.py --resolution 1080p
```
## 🧠 Songlist Integration
- Place your prioritized song list in `data/songList.json` (see example format below).
- The tool will match and prioritize these songs across all available channel videos.
- Use `--songlist-only` to download only these songs, or `--songlist-priority` to prioritize them in the queue.
- Download progress for the songlist is tracked globally in `data/songlist_tracking.json`.
#### Example `data/songList.json`
```json
[
{ "artist": "Taylor Swift", "title": "Cruel Summer" },
{ "artist": "Billie Eilish", "title": "Happier Than Ever" }
]
```
## 🛠️ Tracking & Caching
- **data/karaoke_tracking.json**: Tracks all downloads, statuses, and formats
- **data/songlist_tracking.json**: Tracks global songlist download progress
- **data/channel_cache.json**: Caches channel video lists for performance
