yt-mp3 converter

This is a simple Python program which uses youtube-dl for downloading YouTube videos as mp3 files. This program is for you if you are tired of endless ads by Spotify, privacy invasive ads by YouTube and the sites to download YouTube to mp3.

yt-mp3converter completely respects your privacy and contains no ads, and most of all, it's free to use...

Instructions

Paste the YouTube or Invidious video link when you run the program, so that it automatically downloads the desired video. And once the download is complete, check your home folder for the mp3 file. Now play it with your desired media player...and you're good to go.

Requirements

• Python (preferably Python 3.9.7 (the latest as of posting this, although older versions of Python 3 will do fine as well.))
• A music player or media player like mpv or VLC
• youtube-dl
• An internet connection (most important)

or
