This no longer works. Youtube has closed the pipes. The youtube-dl now throws errors each time. Any one know of any other solution?

i followed the guide and i got one problem: youtube-dl no longer works here (latest manjaro).
so i installed yt-dlp, which worked perfectly. the rest as described in the short and nice guide here.

ripped the audio of 4 songs and converted them to mp3 - awesome!
