"""
For `Music` tab, YouTube UI returns 3,000 entries while my reverse-engineering approach returns 5,819 entries.
For `Sound effects` tab, YouTube UI returns 400 entries while my reverse-engineering approach returns 2021 entries.

So I assume YouTube UI pagination doesn't work fine, so to retrieve all media files (for `Music`), the idea is to filter by `Track title` and download one entry that perfectly (not just `contains`) matches `artist/name`, `title` and `duration/nanos` (converted if only `seconds`), as some tracks have the same titles.
Only `trackId` and `viperId` differ when identifying with `artist/name`, `title` and `duration/nanos` (cf above comment) (example: `Dyalla_Ringside_116`), as I verified all duplicates, they are binary identical.
So we will have to duplicate the media file with the different `trackId`s for files being *identitcal* (note that `trackId`, as well as `viperId` are uniquely identified).
Otherwise I could clean the metadata by removing duplicates (but then if we update the database we have to make sure that ids that we have kept are still kept).
