Any good tools for converting a YT playlist to mp3?
(lemmy.dbzer0.com)
I use https://stacher.io/. It's a yt dl UI.
Absolutely love it. Very easy to use and lots of options.
This one worked perfectly with a test playlist, very good UI too.
Might use as my main yt downloader, thanks for the reply.
look on github for ytdl-sub. awesome app
JDownloader also works great
Why would you want to convert to mp3? This ain't 2003, there's way better formats to use than that.
Because the first audio format I think of is mp3, that's literally it.
There might be, but as a standard mp3 is by far the most cross compatible format on any device. Plus, if you feel like it later you can just create a program to convert all the mp3 files into other formats.
OOG Vorbis has been around for years, what device are you imagining that can't play it? A Zune?
Likely they are putting it on mobile phone, and both major OSes can handle those files.
My phone will play .ogg with VLC, but the little bar that tracks song progress is broken, same with .opus. .flac works but phone manufacturers have decided I don't need storage space and I instead need their cloud, which I refuse to use, so .mp3 it is.
If you're having issues with OOG, then try AAC. It was designed to be the successor to MP3, and when MP3 is phased out in the coming years, it will be in favor of AAC. I use Vorbis because it's open source, but there are other options than that.
I'll give it a shot.
you're probably right about that, i never thought of it that way!
Can you give some examples to read up on?
Depends on whether you want lossless or lossy. For lossy, OOG Vorbis is the way to go if you want to support open source. If you don't care about that, WMA is a proprietary format alternative. Both WMA and Vorbis have better quality than MP3, with equivalent file sizes. I use Vorbis myself, because it's free.
If you want lossless, idk, because I don't fuck with that.
Just a small question let us say i wanted to convert all of my mp3 files into oog or wma. Will i loose some quality or it is fine (my files are around 128kbps)??? Because better quality for same size seems like a switch i would do. (I will convert with AIMP)
If they're already MP3 then don't bother. Can't make it sound better after it's already been compressed. You'd need to get source material then convert to whatever format.
There's nothing wrong with MP3 though. Hell most people are listening to streaming like Pandora and Spotify and don't complain.
Vorbis has better compression than MP3, so you won't lose any quality, and the files should be a little smaller.

Try tzahi12345/youtubedl-material for a handy UI.
Thanks for the suggestion!
True. Maybe next time i download new ones i will think of making them into vorbis instead of mp3
Please don't convert to mp3. YouTube's quality already isn't great, you don't need further compression.
What alternatives do you suggest?
By all means download from YouTube, just don't convert to MP3.
If you want higher quality then there are tools for downloading from Deezer and Qobuz.
