Not able to download in mp3 format

[aviaryan]

I have tried this script 7-8 times now and I have never been able to download music in .mp3 format.
It is either *.m4a or *.webm .
Can something be done here ?

I get the same thing. Do you have the FFmpeg installed properly? I think that's the solution, however I didn't see where the python script was referencing it.

It would automatically convert to .mp3 file, but only if you have ffmpeg or avconv, installed.
On OSX you can run brew install libav to install it.
On Ubuntu libav-tools can be installed by running sudo apt-get install libav-tools
Clearly, installation script requires more work: https://github.com/yask123/Instant-Music-Downloader/blob/master/install.sh#L8

What about a solution for Windows? I tried installing FFmpeg, but I still get webm and m4a files.

[yask123]

After installing FFmpeg did you put them in the current path ?
Or maybe put ffmpeg../bin in your environment path variable .

That was the fix. The FFmpeg said it added it to the Path, but I guess it really didn't. Manually added and works flawlessly.
