Trying to convert youtube videos to mp3 files on my phone, the website I had been doing it on is down and all the alternatives are scam sites and virus links. Any alts you know?
Edit: i have an iPhone, I would prefer a browser based converter if possible.
I’m using yt-dlp. Its a command line app, but quite easy to use. It’s primary function is downloading entire videos, but it can rip out audio into various formats as well.
Edit: I’m apparently bad at reading, didn’t notice you’re looking for a phone app. NewPipe has has a video and audio download functions.
I should mention it’s for an iPhone specifically. I used to use web based converters but they are taken down
You can absolutely use yt-dlp on iPhone though via a-shell.
You can just install it and then type pip install yt-dlp.
We do this.
Don’t be a newb. Learn the command line and use yt-dlp.
Seal GUI android frontend for yt-dlp and can convert to mp3 https://f-droid.org/packages/com.junkfood.seal/
self-host a downloader/extractor site for your own use, behind authentication (so it’s for you only, not randoms off the internet that ‘find’ it).
If you are willing to follow the self-hosted route metube is a browser based converter and has yt-dlp as backend :) easy to use (once you get everything setup !).
No scam, virus issues, can even download a whole playlist, video…
Cobalt is great, it’s entirely web based and supports many websites. You can download both audio and video (if available).
