ummm how do i explain it...
kay it does what this site does :
http://www.video2mp3.net/
but in vb, is there a way to do that?

[mandai]

Yes there is an easy way to download files in VB, if that is what you are asking for.

Code: Select all

        Dim wc As WebClient = New WebClient()
        Dim u As Uri = New Uri("http://localhost/file.mp3")

        Try
            wc.DownloadFile(u, "myfile.mp3")
        Catch ex As Exception
            MsgBox("Error: " & ex.Message)
            Return
        End Try

But if you want to provide users with the option to download files through your VB app (like a proxy) then that would be something else.

Mandai is right. To download files use the code he provided.
But if you're downloading youtube videos you would have to download the video as an flv first and then convert it into an mp3.

Yep that is exactly what they do

[iAtomic]

is there a way to download it and convert it automatically?

[mandai]

Yes, once you have the flv file you could use a program like ffmpeg to convert it.

Example:

Code: Select all

        Dim psi As ProcessStartInfo = New ProcessStartInfo()
        psi.FileName = "ffmpeg.exe"
        psi.Arguments = "-i video.flv video.mp3"
        Process.Start(psi)
