About
Zicott is a Gluegun-powered CLI for quickly downloading YouTube videos as MP3. It's a simple tool that I've build for my personal usage, so don't expect it to be heavily maintained. Personally, I've been using YouTube to listen to music, but there are a couple of problems with it:
- Ads.
- Videos get taken down all the time.
- No offline mode.
- Message popup saying "Are you still watching?".
So that's why this tool exists.
⚠ Important: To run this CLI, you need to have FFmpeg installed on your computer. Also, keep in mind that downloading audio from videos other than your own is against YouTube TOS, use this tool at your own risk.
