custom Youtube video to mp3 converter 3.03

👋 Introduction

Hello World!

I was working on recording videos and needed audio clips from Youtube. I could use Youtube to mp3 conversion service sites... but I am a programmer. So I went ahead and created a simple script to download Youtube audios straight from Youtube. This Python script uses Tkinter for the GUI design and pafy to download youtube streams.

Please message me with any feedback, I am happy talk :)

📑 How to Install and Run

  1. Download the youtube2mp3 3.01 zip file from the lastest published releases.
  2. After you first download the zip folder, unzip the folder in your location of choice.
  3. Then create a quick a shortcut of the youtube2mp3.exe file for access.
  4. Make sure to choose a file download destination before you start downloading files.
  5. Start downloading
