#Command line download youtube to mp3 macbook install
Youtube-dl can be installed on any OS that has Python installed with this command: python3 -m pip install youtube-dl Ī YouTube video has to be downloaded before it can be converted as part of the execution of the above command, because youtube-dl cannot convert a video to mp3 format unless it has access to it, so youtube-dl downloads the entire video as a temporary file and then deletes the temporary file automatically when it is done converting it.
Where your-choice-of-format is replaced by an format integer number that is selected from the results of youtube-dl -F. Youtube-dl can convert YouTube videos to mp3 files with the following command: youtube-dl -f your-choice-of-format -extract-audio -audio-format mp3
Some of the available formats for a specific YouTube URL are audio only and they are identified as audio only in the results of youtube-dl -F. Show a list of the available formats for a specific YouTube URL which I have denoted by in the following line of code. There is a free, cross platform (Windows/Mac/Linux), command line program named youtube-dl that can convert YouTube videos to mp3 files.
