Someone’s using yt-dlp and ffmpeg wrong if they’re getting ads.
cobalt.tools is FOSS with no trackers or ads and can download from most places that matter.
It’s cobalt.tools ,you mistyped it
Ugh thanks
Wow, where has this been all my life
When I search this I get vacuum and gripper tools.
Is this like in Breaking Bad where the vacuum repair business is just a front?
That’s my bad I fat fingered. Fixed!
cobalt.tools is what he meant
Another open-source tool I’ve been using for years is jdownloader. It surprised me multiple times by being able to more music and video websites than just YouTube https://jdownloader.org/
Your link is still broken, but I was able to find it. Looks awesome, thanks for sharing.
Wow, this looks absolutely fantastic. Thanks!
The faerie folk have moved onto the internet.
We’ve been here for aaaaages 🌈
You rang
It is the Otherworld after all
Also the pirate movie sites that you can’t use without adblocker because without it wherever you click it opens a new window.
It’s like a normie/noob filter at this point
What I hate about those is when they switch sites but leave the ad ridden husk that gets worse and I need to figure out what southeast Asian domain I need to switch my tabs to.
On my phone I just download through NewPipe, and on my PC I use Parabolic
It reminds me of trying to find ROMs online as a kid, the link is almost always the smallest link, and almost never the five green DOWNLOAD buttons.

One thing I really love about seedy anime websites and YouTube mp3 converters is like. They actually do what they say they’re doing. But they WILL try to trick you into downloading a virus. Like its almost just a greeting at this point. I try to extract a song from a YouTube video and it says free VPN installer tonight perhaps? Free VPN installer tonight queen? And I say YouTube-mp3 converter you sly dog, you know what I’m here for. Show me the goods. And YouTube-mp3 converter says ahhh you got me, no getting one over on you. Thought it was worth a try tho. Here you go king x
Adblockers remove all those messages and ads. You’d be surprised at exactly how boring those pages look without 12 different download buttons, an ad for McAfee, and two banners about VPNs.
I hate it when people write the way they talk
How else should people write? Like AI models or something? What is wrong with writing in a way that conveys the speaking style of the author?
That’s… A rather stupid thing to be irked over.
I bet you love people who write the way their dialect sounds.
It really only works in live chat formats.
I’m worse. I talk how I write. Sentences ending in prepositions? Nah, fuck that
It’s fine and I like it.
I have a little app that lets me send it a Spotify playlist and then it goes and finds the matching song on YouTube, converts it, and downloads it all in a big batch. Took forever to fuckin’ find and it was of course on a site like that. Been a while since I used it; probably doesn’t even work anymore. I tried like 5 others before finding that one, and they were all broken.
The dumb thing is I only wanted it because even though I use the local file thing and still pay for Spotify, it wouldn’t actually play anything whenever I didn’t have Internet access, making it’s own built in system of “downloading” and playing files locally useless.
How reliable is the song matching on YT? I’d imagine some songs would be obscure or exclusive to Spotify so that you can’t find it on YT, let alone it being a low quality one.
I’d approach this problem by using Spotify’s API (or scraping) to get the good stuff, then sending it to my phone whenever I’m connected to the wifi.
YouTube ends up having more of the obscure stuff I like than Spotify does, actually so for that stuff I can’t even add it to a Spotify playlist.
It’s remarkably good though. I mean even if you’re just putting a little vid up to show something off really quick, it can remove the audio if it picks up a track playing on the radio in the background and is usually correct in identifying the song.
Just use soulseek or torrenting?
Then I have to find each individual song manually so…
So you managed to initially think of a tool that can automatically do this for YouTube, but not any other platform? come on this is sad, just think for a second.
All I did was search for a tool that could take my Spotify playlist and download mp3s of it. There was no such tool that used any other source besides YouTube. Probably because no other source allows downloads while also comprehensively and correctly labeling the music used.
There’s a bunch of tools for other sources.
Such as?

Ublock origin makes short work of these lol
Really fitting since usually the correct one isnt any of those. It’ll be the non-flashy, plain text “download here” link.

same with “fake” png websites. they usually just ask you to complete a captcha or sth and then actually give you the transparent image.
More people need to learn about yt-dlp and ffmpeg. Can’t talk about the seedy anime websites, but youtube-mp3 conversion is so easily done yourself without havaing to visit any virus-pushing sites once you figure out how.
It’s a hell of a lot more convenient to go to a shady site with an adblocker installed than install/update Python and a couple command line packages before manually performing conversion yourself.
You can yt-dlg right off the microsoft store on windows which is just a straight up GUI for yt-dlp.
rarely use the cli anymore. the gui works pretty well.
“A couple command line packages”, well, since both yt-dlp and ffmpeg are command line tools and two technically qualifies as “a couple”, this is technically correct, but making it seem like much more of a big deal than it is at the same time.
Also, you do not have to install Python for any of this. Never mind having Python installed is a good idea anyway.
two doesnt ‘qualify’ as a couple. two IS couple. a couple is two
From my time at Tumblr and DeviantArt I am really familiar with stuff like ffmpeg, but I don’t think it is the type you are referring too.
Now I’m wondering what else ffmpeg could mean… Maybe female-female-male threesome with pegging?

I’ve had a good experience with youpak, you just take the url from whatever YouTube video you’re on and change “tube” of YouTube.com/shegaiabfvtbrbw to “pak” so it’s youpak.com/whateverwhateverwhatever and the dropdown right at the top has the download or convert to MP3 buttons right there.
I do use Firefox with an adblocker so idk if it’s a cancerous site otherwise.
