Easily save music playlists from Youtube on Ubuntu

git clone https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl.git
cd youtube-dl
./youtube-dl 'https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL517964F9D64C8D0B' --ignore-errors --extract-audio --audio-quality 0 --audio-format mp3 --prefer-ffmpeg --output '%(playlist_index)s - %(title)s.%(ext)s'

(source, source)

...but then the mp3 files have the wrong length and can't be fast forwarded properly in many players (youtube-dl 2014.04.30.1)

To fix them:

sudo apt-get install vbrfix
cd /path/to/mp3s
find . -type f -iname '*.mp3' -exec vbrfix {} {} \;
rm vbrfix.log vbrfix.tmp

Music players on Ubuntu

I haven't yet found software for Linux that equals Winamp on Windows, for ease of playlist manipulation.

• Movie player - ugh
• Banshee - Can't easily work with albums. Play Queue is too fiddly. Can't copy music between Play Queue, File System Queue and Playlists.
• Amarok - Better than Banshee. Actually lets me see my directories on disk! Easy to make playlists.
• Clementine - Works. Easy to browse files, easy to make playlists.
• XMMS - ?
• Audacious - ?
• Rhythm box - ?
• Songbird - ?

thanks
