 Is there a way to download only the audio from the 300 videos on my YouTube channel, and do it all at once? 
 Not sure myself… I would do it a really retarded way

Eg download it all and put through iMovie & remove the video 
 primal.net/p/npub1duwyqv7f3p92udxe35crrqu9qf5ccqj2g29lsr4cc4kguvywmw4q93z9az 
just sent me couple of zip files. of all the audio, i am checking them now.
 
 Pay with Bitcoin! I bet there’s someone willing to do it for you for sats. 
 Create a playlist, feed playlist to yt-dlp, --extract-audio, wait, done 
 This is the way. And I was about to suggest this very thing. 
 Jdownloader? 
 I can rip it for you tomorrow. I have a professional tool that does it in one click. 
 Thanks , replied to DM 
 You can download entire channel with yt-dlp and save only audio with -x argument 
 That would've been my suggestion as well.  
 This is the way, every other tool that is going to be recommended just uses yt-dlp under the hood 
 Exactly this! I would probably just get the opus stream and call it a day, but if you really need mp3 you will have to install ffmpeg together with yt-dlp.  
 Thank you, how do I run this as I don't have any expereience in running code and currently I am using a mac. 
 You should be able to install it with homebrew 
 Brew update; brew upgrade; brew install ffmpeg; brew install yt-dlp;

yt-dlp -x --audio-format mp3 'http://YouTube.com/yourchannel' 
 jdownloader!
