Downloading a single audio file

The files will be saved in the current working directory of the terminal. (Run "pwd" to see where you are)

yt-dlp --extract-audio --audio-format m4a --no-keep-video URL "Your url here"

You can replace "m4a" with any supported audio format, such as MP3 or WAV.

e.g:

yt-dlp --extract-audio --audio-format wav --no-keep-video URL "https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=jFU6xiWbHT0&list=RDAMVMjFU6xiWbHT0"

Downloading multiple files

You can download an entire playlist with the above command and the URL of the playlist.

Alternatively, create a text file in your current working directory with the URLs of the Youtube videos you want to download, one per line.

e.g. I've named this file yt.txt (you can use any name) and pasted 3 URLs into it.

Then in your terminal run the following command, replacing "yt.txt" with your file name.
