Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/sigma67/ytmusicapi/issues/850

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The api does not provide any async client which is a pain when using this library in an async code base.

Describe the solution you'd like
An Async client that can be imported and used in parallel to the regular client.

Is there any intentions on rewriting the code base in async? if not would such addition be wanted in the library? thanks.

Yes, this is the implementation I am open to and have previously expressed support for: https://github.com/sigma67/ytmusicapi/discussions/846#discussioncomment-15484728

@kaneryu has expressed interest in this as well. Let's keep this issue for tracking the effort and assignee.

@sgvictorino since the request keeps coming I am now open to adding a separately importable, non-breaking async client, despite previously rejecting it.

I suspect that due to the effort involved we'd need to create multiple separate issues with manageable size to avoid one huge PR.

one way to evade a huge pull request is to setup the async boilerplate with all the methods that would need to be rewritten defined and raise a Not implemented exception. this makes it easier to collaborate and clearly defines what work needs to be done as well as break the conversion into manageable PRs

For sure, that sounds like a good plan
