Now, I know that there are tons of questions about this topic but not quite this one as it specifically asks about flashgot.

The unique trait of flashgot is that it works with every website (not like other youtube-oriented apps) so I just want to know if there is a direct way of downloading the audio only in mp3 using flashgot, if not then a link to a nice how-to on converting webm audio to mp3 using terminal would be nice.

I'm running 16.04 LTS.

To convert

I use ffmpeg [1]:

 ffmpeg -i input.webm -acodec libmp3lame -aq 4 output.mp3
  • -i: input file
  • -acodec: audio codec
    • LAME is a high quality MPEG Audio Layer III (MP3) encoder licensed under the LGPL. [2].
  • aq: audio quality [3]
    • aq 4 = 128 kb/s
    • aq 5 = 160 kb/s
    • aq 6 = 192 kb/s
    • aq 7 = 224 kb/s
    • aq 8 = 256 kb/s

To download

I use youtube-dl it support a lot of sites, you can use -F switch to get a list of available formats, if there was an only audio format available you can only download that.

$ youtube-dl --list-extractors | wc -l
1035

Means it support 1035 sites.
