umd "paste-any-url-here"

That's literally it. YouTube video? [Y] Spotify song? [Y] Instagram Reel? [Y] TikTok? [Y] Apple Music Songs [Y]

It supports 100+ websites. Yes, you read that right—over a hundred!

Getting Started (The TL;DR Version)

Step 1: Make Sure You Have Python

Most computers already have it. Check by opening Terminal (Mac/Linux) or Command Prompt (Windows):

python3 --version

Need Python? Grab it here: python.org/downloads

Step 2: Install UMD

Copy-paste these commands:

Mac/Linux:

git clone https://github.com/NK2552003/ULTIMATE-MEDIA-DOWNLOADER.git
cd ULTIMATE-MEDIA-DOWNLOADER
./scripts/install.sh

Windows:

git clone https://github.com/NK2552003/ULTIMATE-MEDIA-DOWNLOADER.git
cd ULTIMATE-MEDIA-DOWNLOADER
.\scripts\install.bat

Step 3: Download Stuff!

# Download a YouTube video
umd "https://youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ"

# Download just the audio (perfect for music!)
umd "https://youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ" --audio-only

# Download a whole playlist
umd "https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxxxxxxxx"

Pro tip: Just run umd with no arguments for an interactive menu if you don't want to memorize commands!
