Today, YouTube is one of the most popular platforms for watching videos of all kinds, from tutorials to gameplays, video clips and much more. However, many of us use it as if it were our personal radio. Admit it, it’s more than likely that you’ve ever wanted to download a song to listen to whenever you feel like it (in fact, that’s why you’re here right now).
So don’t worry: you’re in the right place. In this article, we will explain in a simple way how to download free music from YouTube, as well as the best sites and apps available for this purpose.
Websites to download music from YouTube
This is always going to be the easiest method. These free websites provide a quick and uncomplicated way to download all kinds of content uploaded to YouTube.
In addition, you can access these websites via computer, mobile or tablet, as the steps to follow are the same on all platforms. These are some of the sites you can use to download music:
ClipConverter.CC
If you wanted something simple and fast, ClipConverter.CC is what you are looking for. This website is one of the best known and most used for downloading songs from YouTube. Besides, it has an option specially designed to download audios without having to do any kind of conversions.
To use it you will not have to download any program or application, since the whole process is done through the page. If you want to download a song, these are the steps to follow:
- Enter the ClipConverter.CC page.
- Copy and paste the address of the YouTube video you want to download in the Multimedia Address bar.
- Just below, choose the conversion format. If you want to download the song as MP3, select MP3.
- Click Continue and wait for the video to finish processing.
- Finally, just click on the Download button.
Save To MP3
Like ClipConverter, Save To MP3 is another very good site for downloading music from YouTube. It is a secure website but lacks some options. However, if you just want your MP3 as soon as possible, you won’t need any more as it is very fast at converting. To use it, just follow these steps:
- Go to the Save To Mp3 website through the link.
- Click on Search for a video and type the title of the video you want to download.
- Press Enter and click on the download option you prefer (Download MP4 or Download MP3).
- Now, the file will be automatically saved to your device.
Dirpy
Dirpy is by far the most complete website of those presented here. You can change the file name, artist, genre, audio quality… and more. Dirpy also offers a premium subscription that you can pay monthly or yearly. What the paid version allows you to do is download both audio and video, allow files up to 180 minutes long, offer more formats, etc.
Its functionality is very similar to the previous websites, as you will see below:
- First, copy and paste the link of the video you want to extract the audio from (you also have the option to download the video itself if you want).
- Now, customize the file to your liking. Here you can even choose which part of the video you want to download.
- When you are done, click on Record Audio (or Record Video if you want the video).
- All you have to do now is wait for the file to be processed and downloaded to your device.
