You Tube Converted to mp3 Issue

[rfwood1]

I just converted 2 You Tube videos into mp3's. While saving them I also changed the sample type from 48000 to 44100, 32bit. When I played them back, the length of each song had increased by ~30 seconds in one case and ~90 seconds in the other! They play fine on my mp3 player and when I open them in Adobe Audition, they show up at the correct lengths. Does anyone know what accounts for this discrepancy?

As an FYI to all, the issue here proved to be saving the original files as VBR and not CBR in Adobe Audition. For some reason Audition doesn't play well with VBR, but once I "saved as" using CBR, the issue was resolved.

You should try "3D Youtube Downloader" and download your YouTube music as FLACs. After that, you can convert to MP3 (if you wish). It sounds to me that there is a problem with the app you're using to do the conversions.

I've noticed that youtube's videos seem to be encrypted now. If you download them now they just play with sound but no picture.

I just downloaded a video and both audio and video are playing fine.

Thanks for the info. I plan on looking into using an alternative method to convert YT videos correctly.

I would use Youtube DLP

Suddenly seems to work again... or maybe just some of the videos are encrypted?

Does it let you just download the audio only?

Audio and video options, although I haven't downloaded any videos with it. Lots of options on both audio and video, but apparently only useful on YouTube.
