music-manager

What This Skill Does

The music-manager is a robust, automated utility designed to bridge the gap between online audio content and your local storage. It acts as a bridge between platforms like YouTube and Bilibili and your personal computer, enabling a streamlined process for finding, fetching, and organizing music. By integrating with powerful backend tools like yt-dlp and ffmpeg, this skill automates the technically cumbersome process of extracting high-quality audio from video streams, converting them into universal MP3 format, and archiving them into predefined categories within your local filesystem.

Installation

To begin using the music-manager, ensure your system has the required backend tools installed. For macOS users, use Homebrew: run brew install yt-dlp and brew install ffmpeg. Once dependencies are ready, install the skill via the OpenClaw platform using the command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/2771096196/music-manager. Finally, edit the configuration script at scripts/download_music.py to point the MUSIC_DIR variable to your desired local music folder. If you frequently download age-restricted or private YouTube content, you may also configure browser cookie extraction within the same script to ensure seamless access.

Use Cases

This skill is perfect for music enthusiasts, content creators, and researchers. Common use cases include building a personal offline music library without relying on streaming subscriptions, archiving historical video audio from Bilibili, and batch-downloading background music tracks for editing projects. It is particularly useful for users who want to keep their digital archives organized by genre or purpose without manually moving files.

Example Prompts

1. "Find the latest live performance of the song '稻香' on YouTube and download it to my 'Mandarin Hits' folder."
2. "Can you search for the audio from this Bilibili link [URL] and save it under the 'Learning' category?"
3. "Search for tracks by Ludovico Einaudi and show me the list; once I select one, download it as an MP3 into my 'Classical' folder."

Tips & Limitations

To ensure optimal performance, keep your ffmpeg and yt-dlp binaries updated, as video platforms frequently change their structures to prevent unauthorized scraping. Note that this skill requires local write access to your machine's directory, so ensure your path permissions are set correctly. It is important to respect copyright laws and platform terms of service when downloading content. If a download fails, check your internet connectivity or whether your provided cookies in the configuration script have expired.
