Since http://youtube-mp3.org has shutdown, I started searching for an alternative, since every website I found had tons of ads and limits and many more crap, I decided to make my own program. It is based on the youtube-dl library made by rg3 (https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/). The program is written in VB.net on the .NET 4.5 framework.
DO not use this program for pirate use.
This program is still in early-alpha, expect more features soon and bug-fixes. Please report bugs at the 'issues' section.
The conversion speed depends on your internet bandwidth and I advise using one-at-once method over the all-at-once one.
The size of this software is that big due to the avconv codecs. I used avconv over ffmpeg because the size was about the same and avconv is slightly faster.
- single URL download
- multiple URLs download (batch)
- playlist ID to video IDs resolver
1. Single download
Input the Youtube URL link into the <youtube-url> box, tick the box and then simply hit "download single.
2. Multiple download
a) Insert each Youtube URL link then click "Add to queue" then when you finished adding songs click "Download queue".
b) Input playlist ID to the corresponding textbox then hit "Add playlist to queue"
ex: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLuqjy0nJu_mFANPVVhioLBVK0WyEiM7OQ
The playlist ID is PLuqjy0nJu_mFANPVVhioLBVK0WyEiM7OQ.
MP3 files will be saved to the root directory of the executable in a folder called 'output'.

- when using all-at-once method at 20+ songs the leftover files clean-up isn't done propely (will be fixed soon)
- when using all-at-once method if you currently use other CPU intensive apps the conversion might not be always succesfull
