Download Youtube playlist as mp3 in Python

By Amandeep Singh

In this article, we will learn how to download all audio videos from any playlist of youtube channels with the help of Python library which is the ‘pytube’ library.

Convert the youtube playlist into an mp3 file with the help of Python

Here we use the ‘pytube’ library. pytube is a lightweight library written in Python. It hosts no third-get-together conditions and intends to be profoundly solid. pytube additionally makes pipelining simple, permitting you to determine callback capabilities for various download occasions, like on progress or on completion.

Moreover, pytube incorporates an order line utility, permitting you to download recordings right from the terminal.

Highlights

  • Support for both moderate and Run streams
  • Support for downloading the total playlist
  • Effectively register on_download_progress and on_download_complete callbacks
  • Order line communication included
  • Subtitle track support
  • Widely reported source code
  • No outsider conditions

Let’s create a small program to understand this concept

Step 1: Import the necessary libraries

from pytube import YouTube
from pytube import Playlist
import os
import moviepy.editor as mp #to convert the mp4 to wavv then mp3
import re

Step 2: Enter the URL of the playlist and then first all the URL videos in that playlist and then show the videoId. After that, we include only those videos where audio=’true’ with the help of the ‘stream.filter()’ function and download it.

username = os.getlogin()

playlist = Playlist("https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9RbQODjRU8-sZx7HHW-j6SwF_YyF4FGO") #enter your playlist name

playlist.video_urls

for url in playlist:
    print(url)


for vid in playlist.videos:
    print(vid)

for url in playlist:
    YouTube(url).streams.filter(only_audio=True).first().download("./converted/")

Step 3: Now we will open the folder that is ‘converted’ and with the help of a loop we convert all the videos into mp3 and store them with their name via converting mp4 to mp3 file.

folder = "./converted/"
for file in os.listdir(folder):
  if re.search('mp4', file):
    print("Converting : " + file)
    mp4_path = os.path.join(folder,file)
    mp3_path = os.path.join(folder,os.path.splitext(file)[0]+'.mp3')
    new_file = mp.AudioFileClip(mp4_path)
    new_file.write_audiofile(mp3_path)
    os.remove(mp4_path)

So our final code will be:

from pytube import YouTube
from pytube import Playlist
import os
import moviepy.editor as mp #to convert the mp4 to wavv then mp3
import re

username = os.getlogin()
playlist = Playlist("https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9RbQODjRU8-sZx7HHW-j6SwF_YyF4FGO")
playlist.video_urls
for url in playlist:
    print(url)
for vid in playlist.videos:
    print(vid)
for url in playlist:
    YouTube(url).streams.filter(only_audio=True).first().download("./converted/")


folder = "./converted/"
for file in os.listdir(folder):
  if re.search('mp4', file):
    print("Converting : " + file)
    mp4_path = os.path.join(folder,file)
    mp3_path = os.path.join(folder,os.path.splitext(file)[0]+'.mp3')
    new_file = mp.AudioFileClip(mp4_path)
    new_file.write_audiofile(mp3_path)
    os.remove(mp4_path)

The output will be:
