JavaScript YouTube to MP3

This project is a web application for converting YouTube videos into MP3 audio files. It's written in JavaScript and runs on Node.js, using the Express.js framework for routing.

How It Works

When the user submits a YouTube URL through the web interface, the backend server uses the ytdl-core and fluent-ffmpeg libraries to download the video's audio track and convert it into an MP3 file. The resulting MP3 file is saved on the server, and a link to download the file is then sent back to the client.

Features

• Convert any YouTube Video to MP3 File
• Allows users to specify filename for download
• Responsive web interface
