YT playlist to mp3 site/app.

(1/2) > >>

JamminR:
Ok. There's tons of websites out there that will let me do a single download of a video.
There's a few sites that will, but limited for free, allow playlists.
VLC will even let me save an mp4 or mp3 of a -single- youtube URL at a time.
(You can load a YT playlist into VLC and play them consecutively, but you can't mass convert it seems)

Does anyone know a non-malware - non adware - non-virus infected way to download / convert to mp3 a YT playlist?
I'd prefer an app I don't have to install, but can just 'run' from a folder
(ie, like a portable app - I hate installations for stuff I'll rarely use, and require admin privileges which can open me to further abuse)
Bonus if it's an online app with more than a 3 minute 30 item list limit.

Timmy:
Software:
- youtube-dl + FFmpeg. (Uses the command-line. Runs without admin privileges. Works really well. Use the following command for mp3 audio of all videos in a YT playlist: youtube-dl --ignore-errors --extract-audio --audio-format mp3 <url to playlist>)

Edit - Removed dead links to online services.

Megiddo:
Plus one for youtube-dl, I use it frequently. :)

JamminR:
Thanks for youtube-dl. I've got various ffmpeg exe all over my various tools folders (even Plex media server uses a customized compile of it I think)
As you mentioned on one, I kept coming across imposed limits. 3 min vid limit. 20 video playlist limit, etc etc.
I mean, I perfectly understand why there were limits (cpu cost/hosting cost, etc), but, let's face it, charging to rip a video when you yourself are running a site against YT TOS?
*shakes head*
Some pirates, I tell ya.

Do you have to do each song individually?
