We’re happy to announce that the new version of 4K YouTube to MP3 (25.3) is finally out, and it’s packed with updates that make downloading and managing your favorite audio simpler, faster, and more reliable.

Let’s see what the new release brings.

Accessibility Improvements

This update introduces full support for screen readers and keyboard navigation, which ensures that every button, slider, and checkbox is accessible and clearly announced.

You can now move through download lists, preference panels, and dropdown menus with predictable focus and consistent feedback. Navigation within the main menu will be addressed further in an upcoming release, but the current changes already make the app far more inclusive.

Faster and Cleaner Parsing

Video and playlist parsing has been optimised to eliminate slowdowns and unnecessary requests. We eliminated extra YouTube subtitle requests, which means faster parsing and fewer temporary restrictions, and fixed occasional parsing delays on YouTube. Besides, there's now no more “private video” confusion when YouTube prompts for a login check. Another fix is that we restored parsing support for BiliBili and Flickr links, plus proper handling of Vimeo thumbnails.

Streamlined Actions

You will notice more intuitive behaviour when interacting with playlists and channels. For example:

• Pasting a link while browsing a playlist or channel now immediately switches to the new item.
• The “Paste Link” option clearly displays playlist names for Watch Later and Liked, along with a “Download Audio” label when Smart Mode is set to audio.

These refinements remove guesswork and make the downloading process more transparent.

Stability and Logic Fixes

Beyond accessibility and parsing, this version focuses on smoothing out everyday functionality:

• The Audio Quality setting now saves correctly between restarts.
• Long names display properly without cutting off.
• The “Paste Link” menu and “Install Update” button now appear as intended.
• Delete confirmations behave consistently.
• Playlist progress counters show accurate status.
• Installer help displays the correct command-line options.

Together, these fixes add up to a more stable and predictable experience, whether you’re downloading individual tracks or managing large playlists.
