YouTube ASMR Download (forked from marl/audiosetdl)

This repository contains scripts for downloading ASMR video clips from the YouTube-ASMR dataset.

The YouTube-ASMR-300K dataset contains URLS for over 900 hours of ASMR video clips with stereo/binaural audio produced by various YouTube artists. A clean subset of the dataset (YouTube-ASMR) contains ASMR video clips that were partially manually curated. The following paper contains a detailed description of the dataset and how it was compiled:

Usage

Download URLs

Download the URLS from Zenodo (link) and unzip the file to the repo directory. i.e.

wget -O youtube_asmr.zip https://zenodo.org/record/3889168/files/youtube_asmr.zip?download=1
unzip youtube_asmr.zip

Setup

Install dependencies using Anaconda

conda env create -f environment.yml
conda activate yt-asmr

Run download script

Run the download script, specifying the URL file (url_file_path) and the output directory (data_dir)

python download_yt_asmr.py <url_file_path> <data_dir>

For example, to download the YouTube-ASMR test set to a directory called test_data, run:

python download_yt_asmr.py youtube_asmr/test.csv test_data

Expected output

MP4 video clips and FLAC audio clips will be downloaded to <data_dir>/data/video/ and <data_dir>/data/audio respectively. Download details (including errors) will be logged at yt-asmr-dl.log.
