The Linuxologist: Downloading Music the 1337 Way!

    Trying to make us Windows users feel inferior? Well, it won't work here, buddy!

    You should feel inferior :P One argument that has been beaten to death is that most people see computers as tools and don't care how it works, so yes when it comes to "computer kung fu" they are inferior...on the other hand, if one is interested in computers and only does Windows, may god have mercy on his soul.

    I developed a tiny bash script to download videos from youtube, convert and play them. It's called "latuba".

    It depends on youtube-dl or whatever software you want to use to do the actual download, ffmpeg to convert it to avi and vlc to play it. It also receives a list of parameters, like youtube's username and password to download adult only videos.

    It would be a nice feature to extract the audio from the video, I'll add it in the future.

    I posted a comment (#560) but didn't get approved nor deleted. Was it eaten by the spam filter for containing URLs in it?

    Thanks.

    This is all well and good. Well, its good if you like your music encoded at 64k mono. Ever noticed how low quality the audio tracks on youtube videos are?

    Seriously bro, 64k mono isn't even FM radio quality. As a way to download music, this sucks.
