youtube-dl is fucking amazing. its one of the coolest / most useful things maintained by oss people that regular, normal humans see. but it doesn't do what i want it to do out of the box.
### features
- infer if the item given is part of a playlist or not
- if its in a playlist, each file downloaded goes in a folder named after the playlist
- if its not a playlist..what should happen?
- assumes everything is part of a playlist
- each file downloaded goes in a folder named after the playlist
- declare a flag that determines what library the target should go to
- video vs audio, etc
- video vs audio right now
### DWIM naming history
dwim comes from someone in the history of LISP. i like the connotation of doing what /i/, in particular, mean, rather than the general 'try and figure out what i mean' that it has in history.
besides, based on the critics of the DWIM system i feel like my interpretation is more accurate anyway.
