Today's #FreeSoftwareAdvent - 24 days of toots about Free software that I value - is off to a strong start, since you get not one, not two, not three, but *four* pieces of software:

* yt-dlp: command line tools for downloading from various online sources: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp

* Handbrake: ripping DVDs you've bought: https://handbrake.fr/

* SoundJuicer: ripping CDs you've bought: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/sound-juicer

* Libation: downloading audiobooks you've bought: https://github.com/rmcrackan/Libation

Each is a useful starting point for building your own media library.

@neil gallery-dl can be a nice complement to yt-dlp. One can use it to download pictures from image-sharing sites, such as Pinterest, that can be a bit protective of 'their' images.
