youtube-dl - 'list' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Struggled for a while with youtube-dl trying to retrieve a playlist and converting to mp3 with this pilfered syntax:

youtube-dl -i --extract-audio --audio-format mp3 -o "%(title)s.%(ext)s" youtubeurlhere

Kept getting pesky error in the subject - just put the URL in double quotes ("youtubeurlhere").


-i parameter allows retrieval of media to continue in the event of error ("not allowed in your country", etc).

Copying ffmpeg bin's and youtube-dl.exe to %Windows%\System32 as well as the working folder seemed to help.
