Youtube Source
FEATURED**YouTube Source** is a professional Online Source plugin for VirtualDJ that brings the entire YouTube music library straight into your DJ software. Search by name, browse results, download as MP3 or MP4, and load tracks directly onto your decks — all without leaving VirtualDJ.
Designed for professional DJs who need access to a massive music catalogue on the fly.
### Search & Browse

- **Right-click context menu** — load to deck, add to automix sidetrack, or queue directly from search results

- **MP4 mode** — downloads full video+audio for video DJ setups
- **Format toggle button** — switch between MP3 and MP4 with one click

- **Real-time progress** — status bar shows download progress and separate MP3/MP4 cached counts
- **12-hour cache cleanup** — old files are automatically removed to save disk space
