[QUOTE=HtheB;885714]Are you sure you did the right command?
Code:
cd /home/user/MyDocs/.videos
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -acodec copy -vn output.m4a
change input.mp4 into the downloaded youtube filename (watch it, it's case sensitive)

and change the output into a name without spaces, like
Music-TrackName.m4a

you can change the name from the File Manager .
Hope this will help![/QUO

I have now managed to convert them to an "ACC" format and got that to play on the standard media player but I have still had no success with the m4a format. Yesterday the media player said "format not recognised". After a re-boot the song loads but never plays!
