Playlist-dl - Download & Play Playlists

Playlist-dl - Download & Play Playlists is a commercial Linux application for searching, browsing, playing, and downloading YouTube playlists from a desktop environment. It is intended for Linux users who want to work with playlist content through a graphical interface rather than relying only on command-line tools. The application combines playlist discovery, selection, playback, and downloading in one program.

Its built-in YouTube Playlist Search helps users find playlists within the application. Users can choose individual videos from a playlist instead of downloading every item automatically. The included online video player supports playback, while the online YouTube browser provides browsing with ad-block support. Light and dark themes are available for the interface.

Playlist-dl can download audio in more than 10 formats, including MP3, AAC, M4A, Vorbis, Opus, FLAC, and WAV. Video downloads are available in MP4 and MKV containers, with controls for specifying video and audio quality. Multi-threaded downloads are supported, and interrupted downloads can be resumed later.

The software belongs to the Music & Audio category because its main tasks involve handling playlist audio and video content. MirrorNest provides a link directly to the official release rather than hosting a mirrored copy of the software. Playlist-dl uses a commercial license, and some features become limited after the 30-day evaluation period.
