Show HN: M2M – A bash tool to convert YouTube videos to audio with yt-dlp&FFmpeg

1 qwertySaffron 1 5/27/2025, 5:49:43 PM github.com ↗
This is my first bash tool! It's called m2m (media to media), and it's a tiny script that downloads videos using yt-dlp and converts them to any supported format via ffmpeg.

Rather than downloading an entire video, converting it to audio, then automatically deleting the video, why not download just the audio to begin with (e.g., `yt-dlp -f 140 <URL>`)?
