Copy a link. Get the song.
A Windows desktop app that watches your clipboard and downloads copied YouTube links as tagged MP3 or M4A files, straight into your library. Built with DJs and collectors in mind.
English · Türkçe
- Copy a YouTube link from any browser, chat or note.
- Queue – the track joins the queue and downloads in the background. A short sound confirms it.
- Library – a tagged MP3 or M4A with cover art lands in your folder and shows up in Downloaded and the Player.
No website to visit, no converter to babysit.
- A copied YouTube link is queued and downloaded by itself.
- Playlist links open a track picker first, so you choose what you want.
- Tracks already in your library or queue are recognized and skipped, so nothing downloads twice.
- The app picks links up in the background; it never needs focus.
- Mini view: a small always-on-top player with now playing, download progress, the auto-download switch and volume.
- Closing the window can send the app to the tray, and downloads continue.
- Media keys control playback while another program is in front.
- Light, dark, or follow Windows.
- Six accent colors.
- Ten interface languages: Turkish, English, Dutch, German, Russian, Arabic, Chinese, Hindi, Spanish and Portuguese.
Open it from the Settings tab on the window edge or the gear in the title bar. Changes apply at once, and Esc closes it.
- Run 1 to 10 downloads at once (default 2).
- Pause, resume, retry failed tracks, reorder waiting ones.
- Optional speed limit shared by all downloads.
- When done: sleep or shut down the PC, close the app, or send it to the tray.
- Closing the app never empties the queue; unfinished downloads continue at the next start.
Plain MP3 and M4A files, tagged and organized.
- Quality you choose: 320, 256, 192 or 128 kbps. Cover art can be embedded in the file.
- Tags that travel with the file: title, artist, album, year and genre live in the file's own tags and can be edited in the app. Optionally write "Artist - Title" into the file name and title tag.
- A folder structure you control: one folder, by artist, by date, artist then date, or date then artist. One button reorganizes files you already have.
- A library you can search, sort and drag from: filter by format or status, drag tracks into other programs, no duplicates.
- A player for auditioning tracks: all tracks, folders or playlists; an up-next queue; shuffle, repeat, stop after this track, endless play; media keys.
The tracks in the screenshots are sample data.
