The world of online streaming has grown exponentially in recent years, with users able to watch their favorite shows and movies anytime, anywhere. But what about music? While you can download MP3s from most online stores, you can't do the same thing with YouTube videos - at least not without a bit of work.
YouTube Lets You Download Videos, But?
While you can download music or any other videos off of YouTube, you are limited in your options and choices. First of all, you can only download videos on a mobile device and not a laptop or a PC. Also, your downloaded file will be automatically removed 30 days from the day of download, which means that you have to download these files again.
Well, it doesn’t seem like a bid deal does. How can re-downloading a file after a month hurt? Here we are talking about listening to music, and I am sure you are not listening to just single song. Imagine having download 250 videos. Would you even remember all the songs that you had in your playlist?
Also, you may need these videos as portable file which you can share and use on multiple device. This is where YouTube downloads fail. However, there is a simpler way to download a YouTube video as an MP3 using a URL. You can do this by visiting mp3juice, a website where you can download any kind of video into video/ audio format.
What is a YouTube URL?
A YouTube URL is a unique identifier for a video on YouTube. It is composed of the video's title, a colon (:), and the YouTube channel ID. For example, the URL for a video called "How to Make an Apple Pie" would be http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDYYxzixFZA.
How to get a YouTube URL?
To download a mp3 from a YouTube video, you will first need to get the YouTube URL. You can do this copying the link on the source bar of your internet browser. This is towards the top of your web page. Once you have the YouTube URL, you can use an mp3 downloader app or a website to download the mp3.
How to Download MP3 from YouTube with a YouTube URL?
The process of downloading a YouTube video as an mp3 is pretty simply. Once you have the video that you want to download opened, simply copy the URL of the video.
After that, you need to open mp3juice or any other downloading services website. As the homepage opens, you will see a search bar that you see in websites like Google, Bing, or Yahoo. You can simply paste that video URL into the search bar and click on the search icon (magnifying glass).
After this, you will see a download button appear. Simply click on it to choose whether you want to download the video as an mp3 or a video. This will begin your download process. Simply open the app or a website and paste the YouTube URL into the search bar. Then, select the mp3 file that you want to download and click on download.
