+This repository contains a plugin package for [yt-dlp](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp#readme).
+See [yt-dlp plugins](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp#plugins) for more details.
+
+# ytdlp-rajiko
+
+This plugin adds an improved [radiko](https://radiko.jp) extractor to yt-dlp.
+
+It bypasses the region blocks entirely, meaning you can download programmes and listen to stations from any prefecture, even from outside Japan.
+It provides more metadata for timefree programmes, and less for live station streams (it's a station that happens to be playing a programme at that point in time, not a programme itself).
+
+The authentication code is based heavily on [the work of jackyzy823](https://github.com/jackyzy823/rajiko/).
+
+I've been advised that it would be risky to merge it into yt-dlp proper, as it uses a key reverse-engineered from the mobile app, so it's a plugin instead.
+
+## Installation
+
+Requires yt-dlp `2023.01.02` or above.
+
+You can install this package with pip:
+```
+python3 -m pip install -U https://github.com/garret1317/yt-dlp-rajiko/archive/master.zip
+```
+
+See [installing yt-dlp plugins](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp#installing-plugins) for the other methods this plugin package can be installed.
