CLUSTER MUSIC-YOUTUBE-COMMAND · 6 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2021-07-01
YouTube Music CLI tools
This cluster consists of six utilities that interact with YouTube Music, primarily from the command line, covering downloading, streaming, playlist conversion, and integration with local media servers like Jellyfin. The dated history is sparse: one entry in July 2021, one in October 2024, and then four entries between January and July 2026, suggesting a long dormant period followed by a cluster of recent releases. The traction leaders are goyt-bin, ytm, and Playlifin, each with 0 stars, indicating negligible community engagement so far.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 6 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
