## Description

**Web2mp3** is a lightweight Chrome extension designed for users who want to convert web content to MP3 files locally on their machine. It supports two main functionalities: converting Shazam tags into MP3 audio files and downloading any YouTube page's audio as an MP3. 

To use Web2mp3, you must install a local Python application along with the 'youtube-dl' package and configure native messaging hosts, which enables seamless communication between the Chrome extension and the local system. The setup process is straightforward for Linux users and involves a few terminal commands to configure the necessary components.

Once set up, you can easily download MP3s of your favorite YouTube videos and Shazam tracks directly from your browser by clicking the extension icon. These files are saved locally in a dedicated directory for easy access. Web2mp3 is an open-source, user-oriented tool providing an efficient way to capture audio content without relying on online converters or cloud services. Note that maintenance is limited, but contributions are welcomed.
