black-player is a Python script designed to download audio from YouTube videos and play them using VLC. This script automates the process of downloading YouTube audio, organizing it into a playlist, and playing it back.
I created this script when I was young and broke (around 14 or 15 years old). I couldn't afford Spotify, so I decided to make my own music player. This script downloads entire YouTube playlists, saves the music in a folder, and uses VLC as a backend to play them.
