    Youtube-dlG is a multi-platform GUI for the popular command line video download tool `youtube-dl`. The GUI lets you download multiple videos at once, can automatically convert downloaded videos to audio, lets you select the video quality and more.

    youtube-dl is a command line video downloader which, despite what its name suggests, supports downloading videos from hundreds of websites, it can extract the audio automatically, supports downloading playlists, downloading and embedding subtitles into videos and much more.
