## Description
yt is a bash function that optimizes the use of youtube-dl for audio and videophiles with comprehensive and customizable presets, empirically tested on multiple streams. Maintains a download archive, to prevent duplicates when periodically downloading YouTube playlists or Soundcloud sets. Parses title ("%(artist)s - %(title)s") and retrieves a thumbnail, and injects these into file metadata. Adds the url id of the source to the filename, attempts to bypass geographical restrictions, and more.
