Download videos from YouTube and convert them to MP3

This Shell script allows you to download videos(and even playlists) from YouTube, and convert them to mp3.

Required: Youtube-dl, ffmpeg

Optional: Yt-dlp

How to use

Run the script in the terminal using:

./download_mp3.sh {insert-video/playlist-url}

You can also set a variable in bash, so your videos will be downloaded on a specific directory. To use this feature, use the following command:

export DOWNLOAD_PATH_SCRIPT="insert/path/here"

After that, for every use of this script(in the current terminal), all the videos will be download to the specified path.

If you want to download using yt-dlp, then use the same command as before, but adding -yt-dlp at the end of the command.

Example:

./download_mp3.sh {insert-video/playlist-url} -yt-dlp
