Stop digital decay in your YouTube music library. FixMyPlaylist is a free, managed service that tracks your YouTube playlists daily. FixMyPlaylist 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 its custom ranking algorithm.
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:
1. Go to FixMyPlaylist.com and log in with your Google account.
2. Grant the necessary permissions (required for the app to work).
3. Click "Fix it up" -> "Register".
4. 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.
Q: Why not just use YouTube Music?
While YouTube and YouTube Music are compatible, YTM has some limitations:
Forced Official Audio: YTM often forces "Official Audio" versions over live performances, covers, or specific stage mixes I prefer. Customization is limited.
Region/License Issues: Even on YTM, songs get grayed out due to licensing or region locks.
Silent Deletion: worst of all, YTM often removes deleted tracks from the list entirely without notifying you, so you don't even realize a song is gone.
Using YouTube + FixMyPlaylist is the only way to keep your specific taste in music intact and fully automated.
Q: Is it safe?
Yes. My service has passed Google's OAuth Sensitive Scope Verification, YouTube API ToS Review and Quota Increase Approval(see video for details), so it is safe to use.
⚠️ Important Note:
When you register a playlist, any Deleted/Private videos at that time will be removed, while Country-blocked videos will be recovered.
For videos that are successfully registered, any videos that later become unavailable for any reason will be recovered.
After registration, check the Filtered Video Report to see which videos are marked for removal or recovery.
If you use YouTube or YouTube Music and want to secure your playlists, feel free to sign up and give it a try!
