When i try to install 'youtube to mp3' in the software center

I get the following error:

the following packages have unmet dependencies:

when I run it in the terminal:

sudo apt-get install youtube-to-mp3

I get the folowing message:

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

Well, I've got an alternative if you change your mind

sudo apt-get install youtube-dl

Using this you can download mp3 , video of your choice using -F to find the number format and -f number to download eg :

youtube-dl -f 18 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anything

The best way to get it installed is given in the link or follow the steps.

sudo add-apt-repository http://www.mediahuman.com/packages/ubuntu
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys D808832C7D19F1F3
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install youtube-to-mp3

Everything should go well and you would be having youtube-to-mp3 installed on your Ubuntu 14.04.

Please refer to Are PPA's safe to add to my system and what are some “red flags” to watch out for? for the potential dangers of using PPAs.
