YouTube to MP3 Converter
(and more)
__________________________________________________________________
youtube2mp3 is a simple program to download YouTube videos and convert
them to MP3 (audio only), Windows Media, Sandisk Sansa, and other video
formats. (It does all this for local video files, too.) It is neither
the most feature-packed nor the most beautiful such program out there,
but it is free for unlimited use, cross-platform, relatively
lightweight, and quite good at what it does.
youtube2mp3 works as a front-end to various third-party programs,
including youtube-dl, MPlayer/MEncoder, FFMPEG, LAME, OggEnc, and more
(see INSTALL for a complete list). It provides a graphical interface
using the Qt toolkit, and runs on Windows, Linux/UNIX, and (probably)
Mac OS X systems. The source code is freely available in the public
domain, and is easy to extend to support new functionality.
youtube2mp3 is NOT associated with Google, YouTube, Fraunhofer IIS
(developers of the MP3 codec), etc., and the developer takes NO
responsibility for its use, legal or otherwise.
