### 🔉 Download by Search Term
```bash
./musicfetch "Artist - Track"
```
Example:
```bash
./musicfetch "ODESZA - Bloom"
```

📺 Download by URL
### 📺 Download by URL
```bash
./musicfetch "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxxxxxxxx"
```
The script extracts metadata from the video and organizes the file under the artist's folder.
