# ytBATCH

An easy to use Batch Script for downloading Audio and Video using [yt-dlp](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp).  

## For Linux

[ytBASH](https://github.com/eppic/ytBASH) is an alternative to ytBATCH but for Linux, also made by me.  

This also means I won't be working on ytBATCH any longer.
