I use yt-dlp in the linux command line environment to download a playlist of thousands of videos of retro video game music. I can have it download the audio, convert to mp3, and only process the stuff that I haven't downloaded (if I update the playlist and add new stuff). It's very powerful.
do you use a WSL? do u think it would be fine doing it in windows command line like terminal or powershell?
If you have more experience with Linux CLI over powershell, I'd go with that. There are a few options: WSL2, MSYS2, Cygwin.
