YouTube MP3 Downloader

This Python script downloads YouTube videos as MP3 files using yt-dlp.

Features

• Downloads the best available audio quality.
• Converts the audio to MP3 format (192kbps).
• Supports bulk downloading from a text file containing video URLs.
• Uses yt-dlp for improved performance and compatibility.

Requirements

Ensure you have the following installed:

• Python 3.x
• yt-dlp
• ffmpeg

Install Dependencies

Run the following command to install yt-dlp:

pip install yt-dlp

You also need to install ffmpeg if it's not already available on your system:

• Windows: Download from FFmpeg official site and add it to your system PATH.
• Linux/macOS: Install using a package manager, e.g.,

  sudo apt install ffmpeg  # Debian/Ubuntu
  brew install ffmpeg      # macOS

Usage

Download a Single Video as MP3

Modify the script to call download_video_as_mp3(video_url), replacing video_url with the actual YouTube link.

Bulk Download from a File

1. Create a text file (e.g., video_urls.txt) and list YouTube video URLs, one per line.
2. Run the script:

   python bulk_yt_to_mp3.py

How It Works

• The script reads video URLs from video_urls.txt.
• It downloads the best available audio stream.
• The audio is converted to MP3 format (192kbps) using ffmpeg.
