Useful program to record with.

Example command on linux to download and convert a video file on YT to an MP3 file:

youtube-dl -x --audio-quality 0 --audio-format mp3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aP3uaKVI8Fg

ffmpeg will also be needed for file conversion: sudo apt install ffmpeg -y

as well as python: sudo apt install python -y

p.s.

curl is a useful command and concept to dig in to if you don't know about it, as well as cron jobs to automate tasks.

Just be sure you do youtube-dl -U often as YouTube breaks the algo very often.

A nice companion is to watch YouTube on the phone, with full background, audio-only, and downloading capabilities. Also must be updated often.
