Apple Music Playlist to YouTube Audio Downloader
Description
This Python tool allows you to extract song titles and artist names from public Apple Music playlists, search for the corresponding audio on YouTube, and download the audio files as MP3s using the yt-dlp library.
The script automates the entire process efficiently, providing clear progress visibility with parallelized operations and customizable output options.

- Provides a progress bar for each step of the process.
- Parallelized operations for faster YouTube searches and downloads.
- Allows you to customize the output directory where MP3 files are saved.
Requirements
- Python 3.7+
- FFmpeg: Required for audio extraction when using
yt-dlp.

brew install ffmpeg - On Ubuntu/Debian:
sudo apt install ffmpeg - On Windows: Download FFmpeg, extract it, and add the bin folder to your system PATH.
Installation
Install the tool directly from PyPI using pip:
pip install AppleMusicMP3
Usage
Once installed, run the tool as a command-line program. Provide a valid Apple Music Playlist URL:
applemusicmp3 <Apple Music Playlist URL> [options]
Options:
-t, --threads: Set the number of parallel threads for faster downloads (default:5).-o, --output: Specify a custom output directory for downloaded MP3 files (default:output).
Example:
applemusicmp3 https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/replay-2024/pl.example123 -t 8 -o my_music

my_musicin the above example). - Progress will be displayed for fetching data, searching YouTube, and downloading audio files.
Notes
- The playlist must be public for the script to fetch data successfully.
- Ensure FFmpeg is installed. If it is missing, the script will raise an error.
- Audio files are downloaded in high-quality MP3 format (192 kbps).
