Hiding the video and letting users download the music or the video is against Youtube's TOS.


It's too bad that hiding the video is against YouTube's TOS. Most of the time the video is a single static image anyway.

About your second point, I didn't ask for "letting users download the music or the video", when I said that I download the music it can be from many sources, most of the time .zip or .rar files that the artists put on mediafire or some services like this.


But if you hide the video, YouTube has no way to show the ads it wants to show you.


Ah you're right. I didn't realize that because I'm using AdBlock+ so I don't see ads.
