• Open Source YouTube to MP3 Downloader

  This seems to be a pretty straightforward GUI wrapper around https://github.com/Tyrrrz/YoutubeExplode (see https://github.com/PackJC/YoutubeToMP3/blob/main/Form1.cs is a well-maintained public domain alternative. - Source: Hacker News / 1 day ago

• Mobile Ad Blocker Will No Longer Stop YouTube's Ads

  For me, the less-complicated client called "DVD" is more reliable for downloading than the client called "Newpipe"; the later stops working intermittently. YMMV. (Neither are as reliable as using own custom command line programs on desktop, or mobile via Termux. If Google makes a change I can fix/workaround immediately. No waiting for app developers.) For me, Newpipe works well as a Soundlcoud client. From the... - Source: Hacker News / 28 days ago

• Download embedded Vimeo videos

  I use https://flashgot.net/ (and pass it to uGet for maximum speed) which does the same I was doing with ffmpeg and digging on the page souce code (which I'm bad at).

• Access Libby if you are not in the US

  I prefer to use the website, never have been much of a fan of the Overdrive app and when Libby came out I didn't use it much because my phone at the time didn't support it. And I don't feel like going back to it now. But I just tested an audiobook and was able to get the .odm file. It downloaded the audiobook files fine. I tried also via webbrowser and had no issues getting the mp3 files, though for this a browser... Source: over 1 year ago
