Anyone know why? Thanks, Andy |

Don't forget your hip waders and rubber gloves, John. https://www.4kdownload.com/howto/how...youtube-to-mp3 The whole site looks like "professionally applied cake icing".

If you need post-processing, the command line FFMPEG can do it. It is the basis of many other GUI tools. There is FFMPEG and libAV as the two engines used, and for me, FFMPEG works. This is where I get my FFMPEG. I select "static" because all the DLLs are inside the EXE file. It's neat and tidy. Note that version 4.x.x is suitable for Vista thru Windows 10, but for Windows XP, you (may) need something from the version 3 stream. I don't carry out a lot of testing, to determine if 4.x.x is broken in WinXP or not. https://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/ If you need a Windows XP version of FFMPEG, try this. For example, 3.4.2 , Windows 32 , Static https://web.archive.org/web/20180408...oe.com/builds/ 45,708,063 bytes https://web.archive.org/web/20180408...n32-static.zip It takes time to work up command line invocations for ffmpeg. If you include FFMPEG in your %path%, then youtube-dl might access it and carry out conversions, such as multiplexing best audio with best video, to make the best possible video file. You can also use VLC for certain conversion functions. It's more than a video viewer. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VLC_media_player HTH, Paul |

So youtube-dl itself _doesn't_ have an MP3 encoder (or transcoder) inside, but the ubiquitous ffmpeg can be used with it, fairly transparently once installed. -- J. P. Gilliver.
