I met up with @woops for a high level summit meeting at Vibes of India off the North Circ last night,
he pointed out that a yt playlist can contain up to 5000 tracks so we should be able make one out of these 4000+ URLs

However, it's very difficult to add multiple tracks to a yt playlist - there are some tools that allow you to do 50 at a time, but that's still quite a pita. I investigated the horrible google api, and that's a possibility, but it's a bit shit &/or i havent figured it out yet

Anyone got a clever idea how we could do that? Here's the list

a yt playlist would also make it easy to actually dl all the trax for the sake of archival, I guess the yt links themselves would do too
tbh were steps away from hosting a choon of the day radio playing yt rips (would probably hold up for longer than yt itself)

I can't help but I like the idea of having cotd radio. I know people do the Spotify playlists for top 100s but Im not on Spotify. Something that auto converts the yt to mp3 and puts it into a 2 hour soundcloud?

yes
youtube-dl --extract-audio --audio-format mp3 <video URL>
converts to mp3
& that's a LOT easier than monkeying about with the horrific youtube api, and has the added advantage of not involving youtube

there'll be lots of errors in there - but should be 90% accurate
