Downloading audio for casual listeners
Downloading music using YouTube Premium

Using YouTube Premium remains the most convenient way to enjoy just the audio file of a YouTube video. Yes, YouTube premium offers ad-free access to YouTube content. Still, one thing I—a lover of JRE and Valutainment—love about YouTube Premium is that it allows users to listen to videos in the background or download and watch videos offline.
What’s more, YouTube Premium offers a selection of audio-only downloads. This means you can click download and save just the audio file of a video without hitting the download button and getting the entire video file.
And when you add how a YouTube Premium subscription comes with access to YouTube Music, it’s easy to see why it’s an excellent choice for casual music or podcast fans.
Downloading music using NewPipe

NewPipe is the perfect solution for anyone looking to enjoy YouTube to the fullest without getting a YouTube Music Premium account.
And just in case you don’t know, NewPipe is an open-source media streaming application for your Android device that’d allow you to access and watch videos on YouTube and other streaming services.
NewPipe has a sleek interface that makes finding any video or audio file smooth. With NewPipe, you can search for your favorite royalty-free music tracks, select the audio file’s quality, extract audio from videos, and watch it offline. Pretty cool.
Also, NewPipe constantly gets many feature updates and bug fixes, making it one of the safest and most reliable media players available.
Downloading audio for committed listeners
Use free online websites
Lots of folks use an online converter like convert.io to download YouTube audio.
And that’s because, besides the fact that converting from YouTube to MP3 audio with websites only needs a YouTube URL, not everyone needs a lossless audio format or wants to go through the hassle of downloading music videos.
That said, here’s a simple list of free websites that’d make extracting audio from YouTube a breeze.
OnlineVideoConverter.com

OnlineVideoConverter is a completely free site that makes converting videos from various websites, like YouTube, into different audio formats super easy.
And besides downloading, the site offers a variety of features, like the ability to trim and crop videos, add subtitles and watermarks, and adjust the video resolution.
Also, it’ll let you download your YouTube audio files directly to your computers and phones or save them to your cloud storage.
ToMP3.cc

ToMP3 was specifically created for YouTube audio conversions, YouTube conversions, and YouTube video downloads.
Although ToMP3 is fast, allows for free unlimited downloads, and doesn’t require an account, one thing that makes ToMP3 genuinely unique is that it gives you other great suggestions for similar YouTube videos related to the links you input.
YTMP3.cafe

Like ToMP3, YTMP3 specializes in converting YouTube Videos but can only download YouTube audio files in MP3 format.
Don’t have the video’s URL? No worries because YTMP3 allows you to search for any video of your choice with its keywords or lyrics—if you’re downloading an uncopyrighted music video.
The best thing about using online converters is that you don’t need to download YouTube videos locally to use them.
Extract audio from YouTube using desktop software
Using desktop software is perfect for anyone looking to extract audio from YouTube into unsupported audio formats like FLAC, APE, and DSF.
Various software can help you extract audio from YouTube videos, from Audacity to Freemake Audio Converter and VLC. Each software offers unique features, so it’s essential to research which is perfect for your needs.
Here’s a simple list to help you find the best desktop software.

Is it legal to download audio from YouTube

Yes. But it depends on two things.
First, if you’ve got a YouTube premium account, you can legally download any audio file you want.
Second, you must ensure the audio you’re downloading is in the public domain and isn’t copyrighted. Unless it’s your own personal YouTube videos, you could get into serious legal trouble extracting audio files from YouTube without the owner’s consent.
If you want to stay clear, it’s best to check with the copyright holder. After all, they are the ones who dictate who can and can’t use their content.
