I made Youtbue mp3 Converter. Which audio quality to set?

I think a more useful setting would be clipping the beginning and end of an mp3 since in a number of instances the videos for the songs on youtube have intro scenes and whatnot before the song.

Does this use youtube-dl on the backend in some form? Any plans to release the code?

Yes. Youtube-dl and ffmpeg. Code will be posted on github.

great! look forward to seeing it.

Thanks for this, all the converters out there are spam filled and gross. The downloaded file isn't actually working in iTunes for me though...would love to keep using this.

Thank you for comment. I have same problems with ffmpeg conversion. I'm working to correct problem.

Plese try now with iTunes. Same errors corrected.

Working for me as well, good stuff.

Why not let the user choose? There are some converters out there already and i would not restrict your site by a set quality.

I thought about it, but it complicates the procedure.

Take the original audio stream to reduce losses and always use the best quality video for the audio track source. Youtube already transcodes on upload, you don't want to have three steps of loss in the output.

Unless you're dealing with 10min+ videos, the size difference in the mp3s won't matter anyways.

Set it to CD quality: 96 kbps bit rate, 48000 Hz sample rate, 16-bit resolution
