There are plenty of free applications available which will extract audio from YouTube videos for you in the form of MP tracks. We wrote about a nice, free and portable application some time back, you can catch up with that article here: 4K YouTube to MP3: Extract & Download MP3 from Video.
There are also a number of free online services which will do the same thing for you without the need for any additional software. However, I’ve checked most of them out and haven’t really come across one I’ve been entirely happy with… until now.
TheYouMp3 (http://www.theyoump3.com/) is a relatively new web-based tool which converts any YouTube video into a downloadable MP3 file. What I like about this online service is its pure simplicity, plus there are zero requirements involved, no need to create an account or submit an email address.
TheYouMp3 is designed to be mobile friendly. It looks and works great on any PC, Mac, Tablet, iPhone or Android device. There is no software installation required. Just use your favorite browser on your device of choice. And best of all, it’s absolutely free.
It really is as simple as 1,2,3:
- Start by visiting the YouTube music video you want to to convert and copy the URL from the address bar
- Paste that URL into the “Insert video link here” box on TheYouMp3 and click the Convert button
- Click the Download button to download your MP3 file
Conversion was very quick, around 20 seconds, and output quality excellent (although that may vary depending on original quality). The site should work fine with any modern browser – I used Firefox in Windows 10 without any problems.
NOTE: TheYouMP3 site is so new it has yet to be rated by any of the leading site ratings services, such as WOT and McAfee SiteAdvisor. So, just to be on the safe side, I scanned the downloaded MP3 file through Virus Total… all good.
Hi Jim… Thankx so much for this easy converter to mp3 for my Ipod. Do you have something I can put an Indian movie with subtitles on and put it on my Ipad…. Also do I still have to use I tunes because I get lost in there. Be well evelyn
Hi Jim
I used that link (http://www.theyoump3.com/)to convert a song our group was tying to learn. Worked like a charm. Thanks!! I also used Audacity to convert the mp3 to wav.
http://xyzyoutube.com offers much fast, better conversion of youtube videos to mp3. You can download youtube mp3 in 320, 256, 192, 128 and 64kbps format.
for me the best way is the DL trick. Just add the letters DL after on the URL of the video straight on youtube. The letters must be inserted after the www. and before the youtube name. After you press enter just choose the quality of video you wish or mp3 for audio
