      Well you can download music and also videos from youtube and other websites without programs easily .. open the video and in the URL before the word youtube add »DL» and then choose mp3 or video and download

      There is another way it seems easier to me, open the youtube video you want to download and add »dl» before the youtube URL and you will see the option to choose the quality of the download, you will also have the option to download as mp3 audio 😉

    With Jdowloader it can also be done, the bad thing is that in a video I lower the volume. Have if it works like this

    Another thing, to help novice users it would be very useful if you offered apt: youtube-to-mp3 as a link to install the program. They hate the terminal and they are the future

    clipgrab seems easier, it is not necessary to put the link just by searching by title you can

    It tells me (with 12.04) that "the Youtube-to-mp3 package could not be located"

    I don't install anything, I use the web http://www.vidtomp3.com

    On this website you have a small tutorial, but it is as easy as putting the url of the video and downloading the mp3.

    With the Firefox extension, Video Download Helper you can download and convert videos to various available formats.

    It is in the store, you must create an account for Ubuntu because you have to enter some data, but it is still free.

    Yes, there are also online alternatives. Is another option.

  10.   Let's use Linux said

    Yes, it is another very good alternative

    Another way is through this website, you just paste the URL of the video and download it when it is ready since it is the same website that is responsible for converting it

    Greetings community !!!

    Too bad it tells me that the package cannot be found, I use Linux MInt 13… but the input is appreciated.
    Here is a page where you can convert the video into audio, for me very good and very reliable .. »I emphasize that it is only for YouTube videos and they cannot be used with other websites».

    I liked the terminal environment where you use the commands, how do you use it?
    Thanks for the info. In Fedora it doesn't work.
