Accessible Youtube Downloader Pro stopped working properly a few days ago. Can anyone recommend anything that works with NVDA? I would prefer a client, but I have also used various youtube to mp3 sites in the past. I would prefer something that lets me set the bitrate to 128kbps or that defaults to it.

In my experience there are two good tools:

1. Terminal application yt-dlp. Can be hard to install but, after that you just run "yt-dlp -x <your_URL>" to download audio

Very reliable, but latest version is recommended

2. NewPipe - unofficial YouTube app for Android. Supports audio only download, but I'm not sure about screen reader support

Mostly reliable, but also latest version should be used

I've mentioned yt-dlp with Windows in mind. That's why I've mentioned it can be hard to install, while on Linux it's not 😀

I found a very good site. I'm still seeking a client, but for now, this works. It is also free of ads, so I don't have to worry about viruses and such.
