How To Download Complete YouTube Playlists.
There are many really cool YouTube tricks and tricks that will take your video streaming experience to the next level, but one thing you won’t find built into YouTube is the playlist download button.
Maybe you created a playlist from your own videos and now you want to download them all to your computer? Or, if you’ve found a collection of public videos, YouTube playlist downloader can help you save them all at once.
Below are the best options for downloading multiple YouTube videos at the same time if they are all in the same playlist.
Important: Most YouTube videos are protected by copyright laws. The fact that YouTube downloader allows you to save your desired video does not mean that it is allowed by law.
ddownr
ddownr is a free online YouTube video downloader that also supports playlists. Just paste the URL of the playlist into the text box, specify the range of videos from the playlist that you want to download (up to 250) and click Download. Videos are saved in a ZIP archive.
There are several file formats for downloading YouTube playlists from ddownr: MP3, M4A and WEBM audio formats, and various MP4 and WEBM video formats, from 360p to 8k.
There are several additional options in the settings that you can turn on, such as email notifications when downloads are ready, the option to turn on subtitles, and several server locations from which you can choose.
MediaHuman YouTube Downloader
This YouTube playlist downloader from MediaHuman runs from your desktop, so it needs to be downloaded and installed on your computer before you can use it. It works for Windows, Mac and Ubuntu.
The only drawback is that it is limited to 20 downloads unless you pay, so a larger playlist won’t work in this tool.
With MediaHuman YouTube Downloader, you get a great feature that the online playlist downloader does not support – playlist tracking. This additional feature allows you to automatically download videos from any playlist the moment they are posted to YouTube.
You can save YouTube videos in video format (MP4, FLV or WEBM) or in audio format (MP3, M4A or OGG). There are other useful options in the settings as well, such as the ability to automatically import files into iTunes, set bandwidth control options, and sign in to your YouTube account to download private playlists.
Tip: Controlling your bandwidth usage as much as you can in this program is one way to speed up your Internet at no extra cost.
4K Video Downloader
4K Video Downloader is another offline YouTube playlist downloader that works with Windows, Mac and Ubuntu operating systems in both installable and portable versions. It allows you to download all videos from a playlist or only certain ones in video or audio format.
To use this free YouTube downloader, copy the link to the playlist and then use the “Insert Link” button in the program to download the playlist. Choose which videos you want to download and what quality they should be. Select MP4 or MKV and then click the Download button to save them in the folder you specified.
There are several options you can tweak if you want, such as setting the number of streams your computer can use to download videos, creating an M3u file for downloading playlists, skipping duplicates, adding files to iTunes after downloading, choosing the maximum download speed, and proxy.
You can track the progress of each download to keep track of its completion.
If you order the premium version of 4K Video Downloader, you get unlimited downloads of playlists, channel subscription functionality, no ads, and a host of other benefits.
YouTube
Another online playlist downloader for YouTube called Youtubeplaylist.cc is unique in that it lets you choose which videos from the playlist you want to download. However, one of the downsides is that it doesn’t download the video right away; you need to either save them one at a time or export the download link and use it in the download manager.
To download a YouTube playlist from this site, paste the link in the text box to immediately get a list of all the videos from that playlist. Select the videos from the playlist that you want to download, select the desired quality for each one, and then select “Download All†at the bottom.
On the last download page, click the download button next to each video, or select “Export Download Link” and use that URL in Internet Download Manager to save all playlist files.
Note. Youtubeplaylist.cc allows you to upload four videos per day, or 15 if you register a user account. If you need to save more videos, check out the premium account information on their pricing page.
