Here is a python script through which you can download all the videos in a playlist in .mp3 format
import re import os from pytube import Playlist from pytube import YouTube from pathlib import Path YOUTUBE_STREAM_AUDIO = '320' # modify the value to download a different stream DOWNLOAD_DIR = "./" # directory where you want to store the songs AUDIO_DIR = os.path.join(DOWNLOAD_DIR, 'audio') p = input('Enter the playlist URL(make sure it is a public playlist): ') playlist = Playlist(p) # this fixes the empty playlist.videos list playlist._video_regex = re.compile(r"\"url\":\"(/watch\?v=[\w-]*)") print(len(playlist.video_urls)) for url in playlist.video_urls: yt = YouTube(url) video = yt.streams.filter(abr=YOUTUBE_STREAM_AUDIO ).last() out_file = video.download(output_path=DOWNLOAD_DIR) base, ext = os.path.splitext(out_file) new_file = Path(f'{base}.mp3') os.rename(out_file, new_file) if new_file.exists(): print(f'{yt.title} has been successfully downloaded.') else: print(f'ERROR: {yt.title}could not be downloaded!')
I used the pytube but I don't know how to download files as mp3, I did download the audio only but the format was mp4. that's why I am trying this library as I found an explanation how to do it.
Here is also the code to download mp3 from youtube in highest possible quality using pytube:
from pytube import YouTube import os from pathlib import Path def youtube2mp3 (url,outdir): # url input from user yt = YouTube(url) ##@ Extract audio with 160kbps quality from video video = yt.streams.filter(abr='160kbps').last() ##@ Downloadthe file out_file = video.download(output_path=outdir) base, ext = os.path.splitext(out_file) new_file = Path(f'{base}.mp3') os.rename(out_file, new_file) ##@ Check success of download if new_file.exists(): print(f'{yt.title} has been successfully downloaded.') else: print(f'ERROR: {yt.title}could not be downloaded!')
thaks for the post! i had some problems with the code and i extended it to be able to download single songs and playlists. (sorry for the bad english not nativ)
import youtube_dl def main(): link = input("give link: ") output = "C:/something/somethin" # example path prepLink(link, output) def downloadVideo(videoInfo ,path): try: filename = f"{path}/{videoInfo['title']}.mp3" options={ 'format':'bestaudio/best', 'keepvideo':False, 'outtmpl': filename, } print(f"[script] downloading {videoInfo['title']}") with youtube_dl.YoutubeDL(options) as ydl: ydl.download([videoInfo['webpage_url']]) except: print("error occured with one video") def prepLink(link, path): video_url = link video_info = youtube_dl.YoutubeDL().extract_info( url = video_url,download=False ) try: # trying it for a playlist for singleVideoInfo in video_info['entries']: downloadVideo(singleVideoInfo, path) except KeyError: # if the KeyError is raised it will be a KeyError: 'entries' # it is a single video downloadVideo(video_info, path) print("download complete") if __name__=='__main__': main()
comment for simplification. You can now also choose the output!
I'm a self-taught dev focused on websites and Python development. My friends call me the "Data Genie". When I get bored, I find tech to read about, write about and build things with.
I guess the downside is that you have to pass those on the command-line each time, so you can write a shell script or Python script which effectively holds all that config logic and asks for user input and runs the library.
The CLI options look comprehensive so I'd guess the features are the same. And for a simple case like download a single video, the CLI way could fit on one or two lines and save having to setup a Python script of 10 or 20 lines.
But maybe using the library in a Python script helps for a level of abstraction. Like if you want to build a web or GUI interface on top or have more control on what to download and where it is saved and making directories or printing a progress report or retrying bad URLs etc.
`from pytube import YouTube
def progress(stream, chunk, bytes_remaining):
total_size = stream.filesize
bytes_downloaded = total_size - bytes_remaining
percentage_of_completion = bytes_downloaded / total_size * 100
print(f"Descărcare: {percentage_of_completion:.2f}% completă.")
def download_mp3(video_url, output_path):
yt = YouTube(video_url)
yt.register_on_progress_callback(progress)
audio_stream = yt.streams.filter(only_audio=True).first()
audio_stream.download(output_path)
print(f"Descărcarea melodiei '{yt.title}' este completă.")
video_url = "youtube.com/watch?v=YsmfWkE6FUg"
output_path = "d://Downloads//uuu"
download_mp3(video_url, output_path)

why not
pytube?pypi.org/project/pytube/
or
pytube3,pytubeXI used the pytube but I don't know how to download files as mp3, I did download the audio only but the format was mp4.
that's why I am trying this library as I found an explanation how to do it.
Here is also the code to download mp3 from youtube in highest possible quality using pytube:
But it I can't edit the mp3 tags of the file download with it. Can anyone tell me what happand?
Tried this code and, mind full that I am a beginner! Running this in Jupyter Notebook i didn't get prompt to add the URL?
I will test this out and let you know.
Thanks....awaiting your feedback.

Thanks. I will try this out.
Thank you.
Really cool. I tried it out and it works really fast, and flawlessly.
Thanks.
it is really userfully
Thanks
Seriously, most of these "How to do X in language Y" type 'articles' should be renamed "How to call a function in language Y"
Maybe, but I disagree with you.
Help me how to convert and download to mp4 file.
You can use pytube. It's lightweight, dependency-free Python library (and command-line utility) for downloading YouTube Videos.
What do I get out of this vs just running the program itself.
The CLI might be sufficient for the average use case.
The docs explain how to use the CLI with options.

I've got "WARNING: yaBcFvKEXDo" and it suggested me to install ffmpeg or avconv to fix this, but what should I do when I install it?
hi, where does the file go after you download it? it isnt showing up for me anywhere
Here is a list of top YouTube to MP3 converters:
