# Music Video's tutorial

So I haven't found anywhere to properly buy music video's, so just make sure you buy the original track to give the artists their due and then you can follow this guide. We also want the FLAC files, so this benefits us all

## Downloading Media

When downloading these it's best to use `yt-dlp`. I'd highly recommend using the options `-f -`, this will let you select the video + audio streams manually, `yt-dlp` tries to work out the best ones, but it can be a little eh. So for sanity's sake just do it manually. The full command to use would be:

`yt-dlp -f - "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghEpW5vgCJc"`

From here select the highest quality stream you can find. In some cases YouTube might only provide high quality ones for audio and video separately. In this case, download them both and then you can use ffmpeg to merge them back together:

`ffmpeg -i video-stream.mp4 -i audio-stream.m4a -c copy merged.mp4`

## Preparing Metadata

Ensure the files are saved as mp4's, from here we can match them up in picard just like regular audio files. Try to make sure they are matched up to the same release as any existing entries in the music library, this way they'll have a record to them to the music video

## File Structure

This is much looser than the format of `/Music`, in general try to keep to `{ARTIST}/{TRACK}.mp4`
