Depends. The FreeBSD solution: 1. Use youtube-dl (it's in ports) to download the file. 2. Use ffmpeg -i <infile.flv> <outfile.mp3> to get the audio converted to MP3. This process can be scripted if you require batch operation. If you are fine with the native audio component, you could just use "mplayer -dumpaudio <infile.flv> && mv stream.dump <outfile.mp3>", but that's not always optimal for further use (and depends on FLV vs. MP4 file format). Alternative: There are web services that allow you to paste a YT URI and then download it in MP3 format. Such a service is http://www.youtube-mp3.org - but there are several others. But please be advised that it's illegal to listen to MP3 in the USA. :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
