A command-line client for extracting mp3s from YouTube videos
You need a working installation of ffmpeg on your system. If you're on a Mac, you can use HomeBrew to install it like this:
$ brew install ffmpegytb2mp3 can be installed via npm:
$ npm install ytb2mp3 -gytb2mp3 can be configured by passing command-line flags. The following flags are available:
--set-output-path <path> The absolute path where the downloaded files should be stored (default: /tmp)
The directory is automatically created if it doesn't exist
--set-video-quality <quality> The quality of the YouTube videos that should be requested (default: highesst)
--set-ffmpeg-path <path> The absolute path to the ffmpeg binary (default: /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg)
--set-progress-timeout <milliseconds> The time in milliseconds in which the download progress should be refreshed
(default: 200ms)This information is also displayed when ytb2mp3 is called with the --help flag.
The configuration options will be persisted in ~/.config/configstore/ytb2mp3.json.
$ ytb2mp3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vhd6Kc4TZlsThis will yield in the following output:
Downloading [██████████████████████████░░░░░░░░░░░░░░] 65% | ETA: 3s | Runtime: 4s | Speed: 1518.28 kbytes/secAfter the finished download, it will point to the output file:
Song was downloaded: /Users/username/yt2mp3/Cold Funk - Funkorama.mp3You can use the --name "filename.extension" flag to specify a name for the output file:
$ ytb2mp3 --name "Cold Funk - Funkorama.mp3" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vhd6Kc4TZlsThis is useful if the algorithm of youtube-mp3-downloader cannot automatically determine a decent filename from the video's metadata.
Copy a video URL from your browser. Then, you can use the command
$ pbpaste | ytb2mp3to directly download the video's audio.
