Easy Way to Download Youtube Videos to Mp3

Do you use YouTube for the music? If you want to save your favorite YouTube videos as audio files, certain websites and software can strip out the music tracks and convert them into MP3 files, which you can then save to your computer and listen to offline.

To download YouTube videos, we have a guide for that too, but here we'll focus on the task of downloading them as audio files.


Before diving in, let's get one thorny issue out of the way: Is this type of conversion and download legal? That depends on the video. You can certainly convert and download your own personal YouTube videos, as well as public domain and non-copyrighted videos; just search YouTube for "public domain" and "non-copyrighted" content. But you can't legally convert and download copyrighted videos without the owner's permission.

As a word of warning, a spokesperson for Google had this to say: "Our Terms of Service(Opens in a new window) prohibit the downloading or copying of videos on YouTube without explicit consent from the copyright holder. Once notified of an infringing tool or service that allows the downloading of a YouTube video without permission from the content owner, we take appropriate action."


Beware Some Sites

You should also be careful with online video conversion sites. Many of them can be buggy, or worse, attempt to infect your system with malware. Before you check out any such website, make sure you're running dependable and updated antivirus software to block any malicious attacks, just in case.

With those caveats in mind, let's check out how you can convert YouTube videos into audio files.
