Lost the old version after a reformat and the number of songs I want is just increasing so I've decided to develop a new version of it. This time it's almost entirely asynchronous :D
I'm currently working on building the firefox extension because I don't remember how I did it last time
also if anyone actually installed the extension and has the firefox extension if you could give me the xpi file for that I would be grateful
Better, don't convert anything, just demux the audio directly out of the stream.

What? o.0?
All the program goes is pass the video to ffmpeg
ffmpeg does the actual converting from an flv to an mp3
the program just sits there between the browser extension and ffmpeg and spits converted files where ever you tell it to

indeed, repacking into m4a/mp4 should do it just fine.
I was thinking of making it allow the option to convert to a music video or an mp3 file
probably wouldn't be too hard, but since I'm the only one who uses this thing anyway and I really only wanted mp3's I don't see the point

Well, re-encoding causes quality loss. Demuxing doesn't.
And it's not hard or anything.
Demux audio stream
Code:
mplayer -dumpaudio -dumpfile out.aac in.flv
or
ffmpeg -i in.flv -acodec copy out.aac
|
Mux raw aac into m4a
Code:
mp4box -add out.aac out.m4a
|

Music video is even easier. Just rip the stream off youtube and that's it.
Anyway to do all that with just ffmpeg?
because so far that's the only tool I'm using
also is FFMPEG bad? oo
would you recommend another tool?
I'd rather only use one or two if possible lol
