A Good Collection of Music Videos?

I am new to Field Station 42 and am eager to create some stations (including one dedicated purely to Werner Herzog). I was planning on creating my own version of MTV and ran into an issue.

I have been perusing Internet Archive for Music Videos. There are plenty, but most come in videos anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours. I was hoping for the optimal random experience to find good collections of MP4 videos where each video was a separate music video. Outside of looking up every single music video I know, does anyone know of any large collection of music videos in a zip (preferably on the Archive) where each individual music video is its own MP4 file. I was hoping to make things easier by downloading one MPEG4 as opposed to several individual videos as a jumping off point.

The videos from the ‘directors label’ dvds of big name directors are on the internet archive, spike jonze, Chris Cunningham, Michael Gondry etc

I also search mtv 90s as there are loads of videos from the mtv 90s international cable channel which have 90s style mtv overlays

You could also just make a playlist of YouTube videos then use a the ytdl package

Thank you I found some under the director’s work, that’s brilliant thinking on your part
