I've not had my computer for over a year and these kinds of sites come and go.
Suggestions?

Can it rip audio only or does it rip the video too? The website dosen't specify.
youtube-dl is the fucking best.
It can download literally every stream YouTube offers, meaning all resolutions in all codecs: H264/VP9; AAC/Opus/Vorbis.
And it also automatically remuxes files for you, if you point it to ffmpeg; so you get a convenient file with what you need inside.
It can also rip subtitles from YouTube.
right, but I'm just trying to get MP3s.

You can download streams individually. Like aac audio without video - that's a very common and great codec, Apple uses it.
And some older videos may have and mp3 stream in them
youtube-dl rips video and audio, but disposes of the video unless you specify to keep it with "-k"
[code]@echo off
set /p id="Enter URL: "
youtube-dl --no-check-certificate --extract-audio --audio-format mp3 "%id%"
pause[/code]
I have this set as a .bat, when you run it, all you have to do is right click in the command prompt > paste a YouTube url and hit enter and it does everything else for you. Affixing -k at the end of line 4 (where it says "youtube-dl") makes it keep the video.
Though my version of youtube-dl is a bit out of date so I'm not [I]entirely[/I] sure if this command line will work.
I didn't know this, This is super helpful! Thank you!

I'm fourthing youtube-dl. Especially since you can download entire channels and playlists. And it's super easy to use too
While I usually use youtube-dl aswell, if you are looking for a more graphical way to download I can recommend the programs from the 4Kdownload developers. It's what I usually mention to people who aren't into command lines.

In your case you need [U]4K Youtube to MP3[/U].
Free to use (with optional premium features), available for Win/Mac/Linux and very user friendly
I just use MP3Fiber, no need to mess around with command lines.
