heh I’d like to trust that plan for sure
yt-dlp already tougher to use today than in years past—and assuming everything will survive new content deals, uploader purges, etc. is optimistic
In like 5 years we’ll all have self-hostd LLM agents and you just send the lil’ bastard on YT to scrape the audio in higher bitrates all over again. It’ll be FINE.
I also have MP3s that are 20+years old at this point, and they were bad rips in the first place. Some of them from CDs that skipped during the rip. bitrot on this low quality MP3 I’m too lazy to re-get is on me.

It’s an arms race. YT is hard to use, then someone comes up with a great new front end that works for a year, lather rinse repeat.

Authorized-hardware only when 🤔
Then we’re back to Telesyncs - will be cloud services with device + camera farms to help us rip videos that must be viewed on specific devices - those that pass checks ensuring the only output is on the screen itself
Then they’ll work on anti-recordable screens? :)

It’s coming. Android just announced they are going to make devs ID themselves and prevent side loading, so all those great new open source front ends were just given a terminal diagnosis. For now.
The walled gardens are being walled in like medieval Carcassonne or Dubrovnik. Foreigners viewed with suspicion, only lifelong residents allowed full rights.

Honestly, the community should make such a tool.
Since the argument is that LLMs scraping content isn’t piracy, if we just “scrape” the songs with a LLM it’s protected use.
