How to Download YouTube Videos and Songs in MP3 Format
Easy Method: Insert "pp" into YouTube Link
To download a YouTube video without any software, simply add "pp" after the word "youtube" in the link. For example, if the original link is "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abc123", the modified link would be "https://www.youtubepp.com/watch?v=abc123". This will redirect you to a download page where you can choose the desired video quality.
Advanced Method: Using Command-Line Tools
Step 1: Install yt-dlp and ffmpeg
To use this method, download yt-dlp and ffmpeg. Create a folder and extract the contents of both downloads into it.
Step 2: Open Command Prompt
Navigate to the folder you created in Step 1 and open a command prompt or terminal window.
Step 3: Download YouTube Video or Song
To download a video, run the following command:
yt-dlp -f bestvideo[ext=mp4]
To download an audio-only file, use this command:
yt-dlp -f bestaudio[ext=mp3]
Replace
with the actual YouTube video or song URL you want to download.
Best Practice: Using YouTube-DL
