1. Download and install yt-dlg from its official GitHub release page and launch the application.
2. Click the Settings / Options button to open the configuration panel.
3. Enable Extract audio and select MP3 as the output audio format.
4. Choose your preferred audio quality, such as 192 kbps or 320 kbps.
5. Set the output folder where the converted MP3 files will be saved.
6. Copy the video URL from YouTube and paste it into the URL field in yt-dlg.
7. Click Add to queue the video for processing.
8. Press Start to download the video and automatically convert the videos to MP3 from youtube.
