Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Prior to this problem, this used to be the best MP3 youtube converter there is. Play the youtube video, click on the taskbar button, pick your format and it would download the MP3 file to any folder of your choice, and you could edit the name before downloading.

About two weeks ago it stopped working. It won't download the file properly and the file type selections are limited to to MP3 and MP4 where there were 4 file types before. The program used to write a tmp file to the directory before completing the download. It no longer does that.

I sent an email over a week ago to the developer and so far no response. It was truly the best converter out there. I've tried dozens of them.

I hope it gets fixed. Five stars when it works. One star for no developer attention.

(Thanks for the response Jeremy. The troubleshooting seemed to fix the download issue, but it now opens 3 command prompt windows while downloading and then closes them instead of simply writing the temp file and deleting it after. Is there a way to fix that? The temp file was much better than the having all the command prompt windows open.

It would have been useful if there had been an explanation on the firefox page of what the functions do in the options panel. That would have saved me and you a lot of time. Let me know about the command prompt window issue.)

When I get these last couple of issues figured out, I'll send you some money. This addon is well worth paying for.
