Any good tools for converting a YT playlist to mp3?
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.
I use media-downloader as the frontend to yt-dlp

JDownloader also works great

True. Maybe next time i download new ones i will think of making them into vorbis instead of mp3
Thanks for the suggestion!
Why would you want to convert to mp3? This ain't 2003, there's way better formats to use than that.
Because the first audio format I think of is mp3, that's literally it.
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.
Can you give some examples to read up on?
Depends on whether you want lossless or lossy. For lossy, OOG Vorbis is the way to go if you want to support open source. If you don't care about that, WMA is a proprietary format alternative. Both WMA and Vorbis have better quality than MP3, with equivalent file sizes. I use Vorbis myself, because it's free.
If you want lossless, idk, because I don't fuck with that.
Please don't convert to mp3. YouTube's quality already isn't great, you don't need further compression.
What alternatives do you suggest?
By all means download from YouTube, just don't convert to MP3.
If you want higher quality then there are tools for downloading from Deezer and Qobuz.
