- klysm 6y agoI know you can scrape only audio from YouTube with YouTubeDL but it’s somewhat annoying
- Shared404 6y agoI use something akin to 'alias downloadmusic='youtube-dl --extract-audio --audio-quality 0 --extract-metadata' in my .bashrc I find that helps with the annoyance of downloading things off of YT. This is for music obviously, but there's an option to download subtitles as well. EDIT: Typed this from memory, there may be errors in the alias.
