Convert YouTube videos into MP3 files

First of all download the desired video from YouTube.Once you download the FLV, I recommend you move it to the VLC installation folder.

Now open up the command prompt (Start > Run > “cmd” [Enter]). Change the directory to the VLC installation folder using the cd command. Once you’re in the VLC folder (with your .flv in the same folder), enter in the following command and swap in your source name and export MP3 name:

vlc.exe "source.flv" :sout=#transcode {acodec=mp3,ab=192,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=wav,dst="export.mp3"}} vlc:quit

Try to put all of that code into one big line. Once you hit enter, this command will open VLC, go through the GUI and actually transcode the video to an audio file for you, then it will close VLC. This command is actually just the command-line version of going through the VLC GUI from File > Wizard…
