sincity Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 YouTube is one of the best places to find music of all kinds. and it's easy to spend hours just browsing from one video to another. But sometimes, when you're out and about, driving, maybe running, that's just not possible. The solution? Download your favourite videos, convert them to MP3, then burn them to CD or listen to them anywhere with your favourite music app. There are YouTube to MP3 converter websites, but they're often slow, packed with ads, and only able to download one file at a time. Specialist YouTube to MP3 converters deliver much better results. They're easy to use, just paste your file URL and it's usually downloaded and converted with a single click. The top programs add support for other video and music-sharing sites, and can download complete playlists as well as individual files, yet still won't cost you anything at all. Isn't freeware great?
