On Windows 11, is it superior to use the command line interface (e.g., terminal) for interacting with yt-dlp? Or is a GUI like stacher.io sufficient for 99% of needs?

I’m also curious if it is better to use an Ubuntu WSL for yt-dlp CLI for a more streamlined terminal

    I use yt-dlp in the linux command line environment to download a playlist of thousands of videos of retro video game music. I can have it download the audio, convert to mp3, and only process the stuff that I haven’t downloaded (if I update the playlist and add new stuff). It’s very powerful.

        If you have more experience with Linux CLI over powershell, I’d go with that. There are a few options: WSL2, MSYS2, Cygwin.
