YouTube MP3 Studio

Build the exact yt-dlp command for max-quality MP3 — videos, full playlists, even private ones.

Video or playlist URL

Or load from your YouTube account optional

Sign in (read-only) to pull your Liked videos or any of your playlists. The list is private, but its videos are public — so they download without cookies. Signing in contacts Google; the access token stays in this page's memory and is never stored or sent anywhere else.

Don't have yt-dlp yet?

yt-dlp needs ffmpeg to extract MP3. Pick your platform:

Windows (winget): winget install yt-dlp.yt-dlp && winget install Gyan.FFmpeg
Windows / cross-platform (scoop): scoop install yt-dlp ffmpeg
macOS (Homebrew): brew install yt-dlp ffmpeg
Linux (pipx + apt): sudo apt install ffmpeg && pipx install yt-dlp
Android (Termux): pkg install python ffmpeg && pipx install yt-dlp

On Android, --cookies-from-browser can't read system Chrome — export a cookies.txt and choose the “From cookies.txt” option above.

Android files vanishing? Termux's home is private to other apps. Run termux-setup-storage once, then save into a shared path like /sdcard/Download (pre-filled in Save into folder on Android) so your music app and file browser can see the tracks.
