Recommendations for accessible youtube mp3 downloader app for Windows (self.Blind)
submitted by EndlessReverberation
Hi everyone,
I'm sorry to be asking for so many app recommendations lately; I'm working on revamping my music library. Does anyone know of a good, accessible app for Windows that can download mp3 files from youtube? I had an app I used for this on the mac, but I would now like one for windows and a Google search brings up hundreds of options, so I thought I would look for people with previous experiences before I just start downloading apps at random, hoping to find an accessible option. I'm not too picky about features, apart from being able to download entire playlists at a time, and an efficient interface. By the way, I know there are lots of websites for downloading mp3 files from youtube, and I could use one if need be, but I would rather use an app; that said if you have a website you like to use for this task I would appreciate hearing about that too.
Thanks in advance and have a great day.

Hi I use Youtube Video Downloader HDR from Windows store here is the link: $1 really nice and fast app ( 4K option is paid but 720p is for free) but if you don't want to instal anything at your device I suggest to try this site. It could be a little bit annoying but is reliable and you can download many mp3 files at the same time. $1

I'm really curious, which one did you use on Mac? I tried one a while ago and it was actually slower than individually downloading the mp3 via a website.

There's pontes media downloader from http://www.pontes.ro/en/scripts/ Just use your heading key until you here pontes media downloader and then arrow down until you hear download, press enter on that, download the file, press enter on the setup file and instal the program. You should then be able to download playlists.

I just tried it and it gives me an error when I run the program. The code execution cannot proceed because MSVCR100.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem. I tried reinstalling the app with no luck. I'm running the latest version of windows 10.

I don't know if it's the app with the most features, but I use:
http://www.pontes.ro/en/scripts/index.php#pmd
It can download from youtube, dailymotion, and a bunch of other websites, and auto-convert to mp3. It can also download entire playlists.

I’m sorry that I don’t have an answer, but, what app do you use for your Mac?

Thanks for the great recommendations everyone. I have been using Pontes and it is great; it has almost every feature I was looking for, apart from being able to add files to a download queue while other downloads are in progress. I will also check out YouTube DL, perhaps it has a download queue, plus my musical tastes can be pretty obscure, so sometimes I can’t find what I want on YouTube.
As far as which app I used on the Mac, I believe it was called something like, Media Human YouTube to mp3 downloader. This was several years ago, and it was honestly just the first one I tried; you could just paste files in and start your download. One thing it did have going for it was that you could keep adding new files while others were still downloading; believe I got up to eighty going at once at some point. I’m not sure how’s it’s speed compared to using a web site, but it would only take a few moments to download each video, maybe between 5 and 30 seconds depending on the length of the file.
Thanks again everyone.

The GUI does indeed have a cue. You can drop a large list of files or folders in the list and it will go at it for you. This includes entire YouTube channels.

another \+1 to youtube\-dl. It has support for virtually every decent online media site known to man. If the commandline isn't your thing, there's a GUI.
You'll have to use a slightly out\-of\-date version, but it's located at:
$1

I'm a big fan of $1 which is a program based on the command-line Youtube DL. Simple interface and easy to manage.
Covers many other sites including Soundcloud as well.
