YouTube to MP3

Description

A program that simplifies the process of 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.
Once downloaded, the program will also embed the output file with the appropriate metadata and cover art via the iTunes API.

Install

You can download and install the app with the following commands:

# Clone the repository / most up to date is on saftyBranch
git clone https://github.com/tterb/yt2mp3

# Navigate to the directory
cd yt2mp3

# Install program dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

The program can executed via Python 3 as follows:

python yt2mp3.py [-options]

Once complete, the resulting MP3 file will be saved to your Downloads directory, with the following file-structure Music/{artist}/{track}.mp3.

Options:

Arguments
-t, --track	Specify the track name query
-a, --artist	Specify the artist name query
-u, --url	Specify a Youtube URL or ID
-q, --quiet	Suppress program command-line output
-p, --progress	Display a command-line progress bar
-h, --help	Displays information on usage and functionality

Note: Displaying the progress bar currently has a significant impact on download performance, due to #180.
