I’ve had this concept in my head for a while, I’m kind of amazed it doesn’t exist yet.

I want to send a link to a music track to an app on my server, probably yt, maybe Spotify, and have that track be archived on my server, with the metadata from the service, preferably in a place Jellyfin can get at it.

There’s a few ways to do that with YT playlist links, but not with adhoc requests for individual tracks, as far as I can see.

Is this not something that exists? I’m thinking it might not be too hard to write, if it doesn’t.

      If I want to just download the audio, I use eg:

      yt-dlp -f 251 -o '%(title)s [%(id)s] f%(format_id)s.ogg' https://www.youtube.com/watch/?v%5C=fuHrtqx52J4
