This configuration is for downloading music albums from YouTube Music (or just YouTube). When given a link to an album, it will parse the artist and the name and create a neatly organized file structure out of it. It will choose the best audio available and convert it to MP3 with the best VBR quality (so, you'll need
ffmpeg)After this, you could use beets to auto-tag and import this music to your library. Thanks to the music being pre-sorted, beets has an easier time finding the album information.
