Download audio

Would it be possible to download the audio from the youtube video? Shouldn't be too hard a feature to implement if it's not in already...

Hi whirish. Thank you for your interested in my project! I hope you had fun using it.

This project didn't use any of YouTube api. It extracts the video url from the website and downloads from that url.

There should be ways to extract the audio out of a video. I'll look into it if you need this feature. However, I cannot work on this very soon. I have to ask my company's open source team for permission to work on it.

Thank you for your quick reply. I'll try to take a look as well, but I can't make any promises, as I'm quite busy at this time. I suppose the easiest way to do this would be to download the video, extract the audio, then delete the video?

[lukecold]

Yes. That's the easiest way to the best of my knowledge.

Could you pls comment under this thread if you start working on this? I'll do so too. Just to make sure we're not gonna do duplicated work :)

I did a little bit research. All the video processing go libraries I found so far requires corresponding C library. It's unfair to ask everyone to install the C library to support this feature.

I'd put this aside until there's a decent way to solve this problem.
