Discussion I was tired of ad-ridden music players & youtube to mp3 converters, so I built my own(no ads, no login, no BS).
I've been frustrated with how many music players and YouTube converters are filled with ads, subscriptions, and other unnecessary fluff. So, as a personal challenge, I decided to build my own from scratch .
It's a simple android app with two versions: a full music player and a standalone converter. It can download entire playlists and is completely free to use.
Here are the links to both completely open source:
YouTube Converter : https://github.com/21Errors/YTConverter
Converter + Music player : https://github.com/21Errors/YTMP3
The music player has a few minor bugs I'm still working on, but I'm proud of what I've accomplished so far. I also have a web version in the works, but I'm still trying to figure out the hosting situation since it needs to run shell commands.
I'd love for you to check it out, give me some feedback and maybe leave a star :D. It's a passion project, and I'd really appreciate any thoughts on how to improve it.

Cuz ke moloi 🤣 Jk you probably saw a different one there are multiple ones out there but what I disliked bout those ones was u couldn't convert your whole playlist/mix from YouTube so mine does that with no ads....unless the ones u saw was mine (21Errors) then damn I dunno either

Pfffft I feel like YouTube has much more on their plate to care about what some guy in Africa's doing..plus honestly getting a reply from them would be insane and kinda cool

Not YouTube .. they don’t care .. but the actual owners of the music do .. here in Europe it’s a big deal

That's the magic of living in a ✨third world country✨ the whole copywrites and whatnot aren't as regulated, not saying that means I'm safe but eh And also I didn't explicitly say this is for converting music for all they know I just could have just made an educational tool for converting your own private videos to MP3
