[Feature] Add ability to search and download about beets-ytimport HOT 7 CLOSED

I added an example to the readme now.

from beets-ytimport.

Closing this for now. I will open another issue if I find something.

The -q option is already taken (by the --quiet option that is passed through to the beet import command) but e.g. --search or --query could be used.
How do you think the import process should look like? Would you simply import the 1st or n search results or prompt the user to confirm or select a track from multiple search results even?

from beets-ytimport.

--search sounds good.

The last option (prompt user to confirm and select track or tracks) may be the most flexible.

I see. Though, selecting tracks within the browser on youtube.com is a lot more user friendly, isn't it? Correspondingly, wouldn't it make more sense to support downloading a specific Youtube playlist so that users could create a playlist of songs they want to download and use the Youtube GUI to pick songs they want to download by adding them to that playlist?

from beets-ytimport.

Fair enough. In that case, we can let users provide a (video or playlist) URL. No need for the users to create a playlist.

True and that's already working: you can provide URLs as argument to the ytimport command.
