Worried about where to go when you need to access your favourite music which is on YouTube but isn’t available anywhere else? Worry not. We’ve got you covered with top 5 fantastic sites to do that for you.
YouTube is by far the best platform for people to share, watch and enjoy the videos they extensively like. Here you can find videos based on anything and everything, from most useful and complex things such as medical procedures and subject guides to the most useless and easiest things like mukbang and how to lift a blue chair. And surprisingly these videos get a million views from equally irrational people. We can also find people who use this platform to stream their favourite music as well. Songs from all over the world, all languages, all artists and all genres are available for the people to listen to. But the catch is these songs have to be streamed online through an internet connection.
In various parts of the world, not everyone has a stable data connection and it becomes problematic for the people who are a music enthusiast and are engrossed in it the entire day. Also, not all the music is available for offline download in the best quality across the world. All YouTube videos aren’t available for download on the app and those available take up much storage space.
Because of these factors, people usually want to store their songs offline in MP3 format (MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3" and belongs to the family of the Motion Picture Expert Group (MPEG)) where the audio is extracted from the video by compressing and converting it. The infrastructure of the online service processes the video and converts it with the help of FFMPEG. Today we will talk about 5 cool websites that would serve this purpose of converting and downloading a YouTube video into audio MP3 format.
