How do you download Youtube Videos to a computer

Hello fam,

Looking for a safe way to grab audio from YouTube videos for my MP3 player. Tried searching for download options, but everything seems kinda shady. Anyone have recommendations for virus-free methods to download YouTube audio?

Thanks!

For me, YTDDownloader has been excellent. You may test it out for yourself with a free download option.

Been using y2mate for years with no issues/malware.

This one of the sketchiest sites I’ve come across.

How to Dowload YouTube Videos to Your PC

  • Open en1.savefromnet.net
  • Paste the link on the (search bar) box
  • Click download and choose the format that you need

I appreciate MacHelp posting the instructions for downloading YouTube videos to a computer. It’s crucial to remember that unless the content creator has given you express permission or the video can be viewed offline using YouTube’s own download tool, downloading videos straight from YouTube may be against the platform’s terms of service.

YouTube Premium provides a method to download and view videos within the YouTube app lawfully if you’re looking to store them for later use. While upholding YouTube’s regulations and the rights of content creators, this can be a good substitute.

What other technological advice would you provide someone looking to save web content in an ethical and legal manner?

4K Video Downloader - I use it all the time for my son to listen to on his little mp3 player while working all day. When you download it, click on the yellow light bulb icon at the top labeled “Smart Mode” to have the video converted to mp3. It is also free.
