teach your kid to fill his own mp3 player

I’ve been putting mp3 songs on my kid’s mp3 player for too long. It’s time he did this himself.

Step 1.

Goto youtube and find a video of the song you want.

Step 2.

Use https://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/ to get a local copy of the video file.

Step 3.

Install https://ffmpeg.org and then google:

This is important step. Make sure the kids LEARNS HOW TO GOOGLE and you don’t just tell him how to extract audio from the video file with ffmpeg command line options.

Step 4.

Place extracted mp3 files onto the player via the USB cable.
