2 years ago I did a lot of testing, but I think you download the first video and then convert it back to .mp3 with ffmpeg.
Yes. The Audio Only option uses --audio-format and --extract-audio flags (See preview tab when adding a download). I did this since some videos aren't separate audio+video streams.
You can speed up the download by using a custom format selector while in Advanced mode to only download the audio stream. (e.g. bestaudio/best)
Hello! If I click on the link under URL it gives me Error "Unmanaged execution in the application", the version is 2.9 https://ibb.co/n6m4kqV the error comes out if I paste only the end of the link Paste example: EmGFdalXd-w gives me an error if I paste the full link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmGFdalXd-w then it works.
Another thing is that it takes forever to download the .mp3, with a .bat it takes me 900% less with the option Bin\youtube-dl.exe -o Download/%%(title)s.%%(ext)s EmGFdalXd-w -x --audio-format mp3 --audio-quality 0 I believe the default audio selection like the one I listed above is fine, but you can always add a tab only for audio or leave the cbox as it is but improve it ..
