Why bother when sites can do it 4 you:

I always ask. People seem to do things the hard way.

The files are in FLV format but can be converted. There are even addons and extensions for web browsers which can pull the videos down in various formats.

I still the error when I use the cmd in youtube-dl or clive need help

I'm not familiar with clive, but you probably need to update the youtube-dl program

sudo youtube-dl -U
sudo youtube-dl --version
youtube-dl --extract-audio <.....>

I suggest the following procedures instead. I think the solution below (4kyoutubetomp3) is better than using youtube-dl

If you are using the 64-bit version of Ubuntu, run these commands in a Terminal session to install 4kyoutubetomp3 :

wget http://4kdownload.googlecode.com/files/4kyoutubetomp3_2.3-1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i 4kyoutubetomp3_2.3-1_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get --yes --force-yes -f install

If you are using the 32-bit version of Ubuntu, run these commands in a Terminal session:

wget http://4kdownload.googlecode.com/files/4kyoutubetomp3_2.3-1_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i 4kyoutubetomp3_2.3-1_i386.deb
sudo apt-get --yes --force-yes -f install
