yap "[LINK]"

Download by search:

yap "[SEARCH]"

Download by search with additional info:

yap "[SEARCH]" -p "[ARTIST]" -a "[ALBUM]"

Include cover into downloaded audio file:

Recommended invidious server + itag

As of October 2024, the default server and itag seem to have some problems. Instead, use yap with:

yap "[INPUT]" --invidious="https://inv.nadeko.net" -i 140

Spotify Download

Downloading spotify playlists is still in development, but one could use spotDL for that purpose.
