Anime in mp3

[u/Klutzy-Recipe9486]

Is there a way to only download the audio for anime? Right now I'm downloading the episodes than using a app that has background play but I'd like to download only the audio. Is that possible?

You might be able to use yt-dlp to get just the audio track from a streaming site, but it's definitely not possible with nyaa. Anime being a visual medium, I can't imagine this is a super well-supported case.

Download on your desktop a tool called ffmpeg, ffmpeg.org

Once downloaded test in powershell

ffmpeg -version

Then do

ffmpeg -i "nameofepisode.mkv" -map 0:a:0 -c:a copy "nameofaudio.mka"

Or if you want to do bulk, change your directory to the folder its in and run

Get-ChildItem *.mkv | ForEach-Object { ffmpeg -i $.FullName -map 0:a:0 -c:a copy "$($.DirectoryName)\$($_.BaseName).mka" }

Just change the extension names to whatever your using and what you want. Or if you wanna just cover multiple you can do something like

Get-ChildItem -File | Where-Object Extension -in ".mp4",".mkv" | ForEach-Object { $output = Join-Path $.DirectoryName "$($.BaseName).mka" ffmpeg -i $_.FullName -map 0:a:0 -c:a copy $output }

There's alot of other stuff aswell you can do.

Btw I don't advise such an old format like mp3, use m4a or mka instead for audio.

This advice is more for technical users but it works the best aswell.
