The same source as everyone else: [DDEX](https://ddex.net/)

YouTube Music “playlists” and channels should always use [music.youtube.com](http://music.youtube.com):

[sigma67/ytmusicapi](https://github.com/sigma67/ytmusicapi) is probably the closest you’ll get.

That doesn’t seem to hold true. I’ve got YouTube Premium and never see videos on YouTube Music unless I manually enable it. (It also doesn’t stick, once playback advances to a track without a video I need to re-enable it)

Moreover if I switch a YouTube listing of a release to YouTube Music I’m redirected to a different “playlist” without any videos.

For example:  
`https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_naFMVwrwN2NnVSKoSho8QsudSsPFuc19E`  
from `https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRCk-lyi0xQaoeFVBy_UDPA/releases`  
redirects to  
`https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nHet75VLZ4rcGDm7Adj5UwRVVszr5mh_c`  
which consists of art tracks only:  
`https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nHet75VLZ4rcGDm7Adj5UwRVVszr5mh_c`

However in the YouTube Music interface I can enable the videos for either playlist.
