sync-dl [options] COMMAND [options] PLAYLIST

sync-dl has the several subcommands, run sync-dl -h to see them all and sync-dl [COMMAND] -h to get info on a particular one. As an example, here is the new command which creates new playlists from a youtube [URL]:

sync-dl new [URL] [PLAYLIST]

The playlist will be put it in directory [PLAYLIST], which is relative to the current working directory unless you specify your music directory using:

sync-dl config -l [PATH]

Where [PATH] is where you wish to store all your playlists in, ie) ~/Music.

The main feature of sync-dl:

sync-dl sync -s PLAYLIST

Adds new music from remote playlist to local playlist, also takes ordering of remote playlist without deleting songs no longer available in remote playlist.

Songs that are no longer available in remote, will remain after the song they are currently after in the local playlist to maintain playlist flow.

Includes tools managing large playlists, For example:

sync-dl edit --move-range [I1] [I2] [NI] [PLAYLIST]

which allows a user to move a block of songs From [I1] to [I2] to after song [N1].

Moving large blocks of songs on youtube requires dragging each song individually up/down a the page as it trys to dynamically load the hunders of songs you're scrolling past, which you would have to do every time you would want to add new music to somewhere other than the end of the playlist... (ask me how I know :^P)
