Hey everyone,
If you manage your music playlists on YouTube, you’ve probably experienced this frustration: You open an old playlist and find tracks faded out with labels like "[Deleted Video]" or "[Private Video]".
You can't remember what song it was, it won't play, and taking screenshots of every single song for backup is just too much work.
So, I built a free managed service called "FixMyPlaylist" to solve this.
It tracks all unavailable videos (deletions, privacy changes, region locks, etc.), identifies the missing tracks, and automatically replaces them with the best matching alternatives found via my custom ranking algorithm.
How to use it:
- Go to FixMyPlaylist.com and log in with your Google account.
- Grant the necessary permissions (required for the app to work).
- Select the playlists you want to protect, and you're done.
From then on, it automatically scans your playlists once a day, detects any broken videos, and swaps them with valid alternatives.
⚠️ Important Note: The service tracks and recovers videos that become unavailable after registration. Any videos already unavailable at registration will be cleaned up during the next sync cycle with a cleanup record provided.
Q: Why not just use YouTube Music?
While YouTube and YouTube Music are compatible, YTM has some limitations:
- Limited Customization: YTM often overrides your preferred versions (live performances, covers, specific mixes) with its "Official Audio" picks.
- Silent Deletion: YTM removes deleted/private tracks from the list entirely without notifying you, so you don't even realize a song is gone.
Q: Is it safe?
Yes. This service has passed Google's OAuth Sensitive Scope Verification, YouTube API ToS Review and Quota Increase Approval(Check the video for details).
