Hello. 1st time caller, long time lurker. If I wanted to get a bunch of music videos for a theme party (in this case goth 80s) what would be the best source? Are there like mtv torrents by year or anything to make the collecting less tedious?
We thank you for your support.
I tend to rip music videos from youtube with yt1s.com
It’s manual and tedious, but works. I’d like a solution like the arrs, but I also don’t keep many music videos so 🤷
If you can find a playlist of videos you can download whole lists with ytdlp.
I’ve heard of ytdlp many times, but I rip so little from youtube I just haven’t had the need to look into it.
YouTube tends to be one of my last resorts for media sources.

Commenting so I don’t lose this post, because I’m curious too.
As a goth, I’m jealous of your party!
I have a collection of music videos organized by artist. I have absolutely no idea where I got them from… I forget how I did it and it kills me. I wish I could remember how I set it up - they seem to be better quality than YouTube and only recently got into ytdlp.
If I remember then I’ll post it on here.
I used this. https://github.com/yaronzz/Tidal-Media-Downloader-PRO. Might’ve been what you used, it’s better quality then YouTube. IDK if the tool still works or not, hasn’t been updated since 2022.
I would just find a bunch of bands and gather a lot of videos, then put it on shuffle. You can probably find playlists and then find the corresponding music videos too, if you don’t want just a lot of songs from a few bands.
I have a projector and play video Playlists off Tidal for parties. Really excels at video Playlists including smart Playlists you don’t need to manually curate. I’ve been a subscriber for awhile, but imagine there is at least some access to this with free accounts.
