  Looking for a non-FFMPEG/non-Lame Python audio converter for Android [closed] - Marcelcolt Newest 'ffmpeg' Questions - Stack Overflow
  So as the title suggests, I'm looking for another way to convert audio. I am currently using PyTubeFix to download audio from YouTube. That works awesome, but it downloads in M4A.

I've tried to compile it for Android with NDK, but I am so lost in what I am supposed to be doing... Same goes for Lame. I've been at it for over a week now, but I can't find any other way to convert.  (...)
