Requires ffmpeg or avconv, however one of these comes pre-installed on most machines. install sync-dl via pypi using pip:

Created to avoid having music deleted but still have the convenience of browsing, adding and reordering new music using remote services such as youtube.

The application does not store any of its metadata in songs, metadata is stored next to them in a .metadata file, the music files are managed through number ing, allowing them to be played alphanumerically using any playback service (such as VLC)

sync-dl [options] COMMAND [options] PLAYLIST

sync-dl has the several subcommands, run sync-dl -h to see them all and sync-dl [COMMAND] -h to get info on a particular one. As an example, here is the new command which creates new playlists from a youtube [URL]:

sync-dl new [URL] [PLAYLIST]

The playlist will be put it in directory [PLAYLIST], which is relative to the current working directory unless you specify your music directory using:

sync-dl config -l [PATH]

Where [PATH] is where you wish to store all your playlists in, ie) ~/Music.

The main feature of sync-dl:

sync-dl sync -s PLAYLIST

Adds new music from remote playlist to local playlist, also takes ordering of remote playlist without deleting songs no longer available in remote playlist.

Songs that are no longer available in remote, will remain after the song they are currently after in the local playlist to maintain playlist flow.

Includes tools managing large playlists, For example:

sync-dl edit --move-range [I1] [I2] [NI] [PLAYLIST]

which allows a user to move a block of songs From [I1] to [I2] to after song [N1].

Moving large blocks of songs on youtube requires dragging each song individually up/down a the page as it trys to dynamically load the hunders of songs you're scrolling past, which you would have to do every time you would want to add new music to somewhere other than the end of the playlist... (ask me how I know :^P)

Bluestacks Debloat Verified -

The Ultimate Guide to Bluestacks Debloating: Reclaim Speed, RAM, and Privacy

Bluestacks is the most popular Android emulator for PC gaming, but it comes with a heavy price: bloatware. By default, Bluestacks loads dozens of pre-installed apps, background services, data-collection agents, and "promotional" apps that you never asked for. This bloat doesn’t just waste storage—it consumes CPU cycles, eats RAM, increases boot time, and phones home to servers.

• Open BlueStacks.
• Go to Settings > Preferences.
• Untick options like "Enable promotional notifications" or "Show notifications for offers."
• Turn off "Help make BlueStacks better" (this is the telemetry consent).

• Disable Popup Ads: Search for promo. You may find entries regarding installer promotions. Change values from "1" to "0".
• Browser Promotion: Search for browser. Look for lines that look like bst.feature.browser_promotion="1" and change them to "0".
• Sponsored Games: Occasionally, you can find lines that reference pre-installed packages. Changing these flags to false or 0 can prevent them from reinstalling on the next launch.

One line summary:

Use a Minimalist Launcher: Many users install a lightweight Android launcher (like Nova Launcher) inside BlueStacks and set it as the default to bypass the standard, ad-heavy BlueStacks home screen. 3. Performance Tuning (The "Debloat" Effect) bluestacks debloat

Performance Mode: Switch to High Performance in the Performance tab. The Ultimate Guide to Bluestacks Debloating: Reclaim Speed,

Avoid logging into your Google account until necessary, as Google Play Services adds significant background bloat immediately upon login. Open BlueStacks
