I'm trying to find a reliable and safe YouTube to MP3 converter for my MacBook Air M3 running the latest Sequoia 15.5. I previously attempted to use the command line tool yt-dlp, but I keep getting a parsing error, even though the video plays fine in my browser and my IP isn't blocked. Any recommendations?

It sounds like yt-dlp should work, but sometimes it requires additional software like ffmpeg for certain operations. Make sure you've got that set up — it might solve your parsing error problem! You could also ask in relevant forums to get more insights.
If you don't want to download anything, try notube.cc. It's a web-based converter. Sometimes it's a bit slow, but it usually gets the job done without messing with the file names.
Have you considered using cobalt tools? It's a website that allows you to download videos first, and then you can convert them from there. Might be a handy workaround!
Yeah, ffmpeg is usually a must for it to work smoothly. Definitely worth a try!
