I’m super lazy and can’t be bothered manually converting each one, is there any good tools/sites I can use to convert the whole playlist? I used to use youtube-DLG but it seems to have stopped working.

And you can add -x to only download the audio.
I use https://stacher.io/. It’s a yt dl UI.
Absolutely love it. Very easy to use and lots of options.
This one worked perfectly with a test playlist, very good UI too.
Might use as my main yt downloader, thanks for the reply.
Please don’t convert to mp3. YouTube’s quality already isn’t great, you don’t need further compression.
I use media-downloader as the frontend to yt-dlp
look on github for ytdl-sub. awesome app
JDownloader also works great
Why would you want to convert to mp3? This ain’t 2003, there’s way better formats to use than that.
There might be, but as a standard mp3 is by far the most cross compatible format on any device. Plus, if you feel like it later you can just create a program to convert all the mp3 files into other formats.
OOG Vorbis has been around for years, what device are you imagining that can’t play it? A Zune?
Likely they are putting it on mobile phone, and both major OSes can handle those files.
My phone will play .ogg with VLC, but the little bar that tracks song progress is broken, same with .opus. .flac works but phone manufacturers have decided I don’t need storage space and I instead need their cloud, which I refuse to use, so .mp3 it is.
If you’re having issues with OOG, then try AAC. It was designed to be the successor to MP3, and when MP3 is phased out in the coming years, it will be in favor of AAC. I use Vorbis because it’s open source, but there are other options than that.
I’ll give it a shot.
you’re probably right about that, i never thought of it that way!
Because the first audio format I think of is mp3, that’s literally it.
Try
tzahi12345/youtubedl-materialfor a handy UI.Thanks for the suggestion!
Seal app on Android
I use Podsync for turning YouTube channels into podcasts
True. Maybe next time i download new ones i will think of making them into vorbis instead of mp3
