It can be a bit buggy at times, but when it comes to just playing music with the screen locked, it’s perfect.

Edit: I forgot to also mention that ad blocker extensions make sailing the seas on mobile much more manageable. Extentions, in general, have been a really nice addition.
What I do is I just jump into Termux and yt-dlp that shit. Then I can listen to it however I want, and I have it for ever, if I want.
edit: (Also I’m just not a huge fan of addons, but if you are and this works for you, that’s cool)
You can create a file in
~/binnamedtermux-url-opener. It’ll be executed when you “Share” a URL to Termux. In the script you can go wild. Setup a menu with options:Stuff like that.
Less technical people can simply install Seal:

Honestly, Seal is just easier, and even supports custom command templates, so it does literally everything you could want.
But Termux can do more than just yt-dlp.
