yt2mp3

YouTube to MP3

Description

This program simplifies the process of searching, downloading and converting Youtube videos to MP3 files from the command-line. All you need is the video URL or the name of the artist/track you're looking for.
The program will attempt to retrieve data for a song matching the provided input by querying the iTunes API and use the data to find a corresponding YouTube video, if a URL is not provided. The video will then be downloaded, converted, and the gathered data will be used to populate the metadata of the MP3.
Once finished, the resulting MP3 file will be saved to your Downloads directory, with the following file-structure Music/{artist}/{track}.mp3.

Note: If a URL is provided and no match is found for the song data, the program will prompt the user for the track/artist and the YouTube thumbnail will be used as the album artwork.
