I often need to download videos from Youtube in mp3 format. There are many websites where you can convert Youtube videos to mp3, but I am giving you a simple Python script that does the same job.

I am using youtube_dl. Command-line program to download videos from YouTube.com and other video sites. It requires the Python interpreter, version 2.6, 2.7, or 3.2+, and it is not platform-specific. It should work on your Unix box, on Windows, or on macOS.

Let's jump to the code:

import youtube_dl
def run():
    video_url = input("please enter youtube video url:")
    video_info = youtube_dl.YoutubeDL().extract_info(
        url = video_url,download=False
    )
    filename = f"{video_info['title']}.mp3"
    options={
        'format':'bestaudio/best',
        'keepvideo':False,
        'outtmpl':filename,
    }

    with youtube_dl.YoutubeDL(options) as ydl:
        ydl.download([video_info['webpage_url']])

    print("Download complete... {}".format(filename))

if __name__=='__main__':
    run()

Just enter the URL of the song and the script will download that song in mp3 format, cool isn't it?

Thank you all.
