YouTube to MP3 help
Hello,
I have a spare VPS and I'm wanting to use it on my website to allow members to convert YouTube urls to MP3s - does anyone know any free scripts to achieve this?
I've had a quick look at youtube-dl and can do it from command line but I'm wanting to allow my website members the ability to do this from a webpage and I'm no good at scripting so would prefer something already made I can use if possible.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Anthony

I'm looking for something like this which I host myself rather than using third party websites.

IncogTube by @MannDude can export YouTube videos to various formats including audio-only MP4.
It's not exactly MP3 but it serves the same purpose.

Thanks.
We run https://incogtube.com and there is an easy in-browser option to download the video (or audio).
The site is also useful for accessing YouTube where it's blocked, or on alt-nets like Tor, I2P and Yggdrasil. Also, it is or was used by Edward Snowden: https://edwardsnowden.substack.com/p/qa02
Yt-dl is dead use better fork called yt-dlp
latest release is "v2021.12.17"
How exactly can a software that has been updated less than 1 month ago be dead. Curious to understand what you mean exactly by "dead"?
@acjm , why? there are a lot of great services that do already offer it, for free, without ads, and it works fine. Why do you want to offer a service that you don't understand much? you will run into issues and won't be able to solve it on your own... users will just move to another service, you will get tired of solving issues.

@afn it's to help people on my forum without navigating away and the majority of feedback I get from users is that the 3rd party websites are full of ads so I just wanted to offer a free service to help them out and I had a spare VPS to play with
To be fair, youtube-dl was dead for months. 6 months between the last release and the previous release, which for a lot of software is fine, but for something like youtube-dl that supports various different downloaders for tons of different websites (not just YouTube), that's a long time.
Even with the new release, a long-standing issue regarding throttling still hasn't been fixed even though there are supposedly working PRs for it.
The maintainer that published the latest release put themself as an inactive maintainer right after publishing it, which doesn't exactly give me any confidence that there will be another release in the near future.
Most people, myself included, have moved on to yt-dlp since it's a fork of youtube-dl that's actively maintained.
