Welcome to the YTDownloader wiki!

The purpose of this project is something of a playground for me to test and work with software design patterns with an end purpose in mind. Unlike many Youtube downloaders out there, this one actively reads and parses the description of each video, looking for timestamps and song titles. It is capable of downloading the video, converting to MP3, and finally splitting the MP3 into individually named songs as parsed. It supports extensive use of multithreading to ensure that all resources are being put to use (networking, CPU time, etc.).

UPDATE: I highly suggest checking out MrS0m30n3/youtube-dl-gui for the better functionality. I may be working to add description parsing to that project.
