What's the deal?

Songs2VID (npm package songs2yt) is a self-hosted automation app that takes your audio files (MP3/WAV/FLAC) and cover images, encodes them with FFmpeg in a background queue, and uploads them to your YouTube channel.

This is the open-source (self-hosted) edition:

• Zero practical limits: no video quotas, credits, or Stripe paywalls
• Fully unlocked: playlists, REST API, art-track layouts, custom watermarks/fonts, per-track covers (S2VID_EDITION=selfhosted)
• Your infra: run it on your own server
