There are not many possibilities to download free music via the internet anymore. This is partly because, since 2014, the distribution of illegally acquired music is no longer prohibited, but also the downloading of it.

But still, that does not stop many people from continuing to try to download music for free via the internet. If you do so, try to do it as safely as possible. So you do not accidentally download viruses and other malware in addition to music.

For the time being, downloading music via YouTube is the safest way to download your favorite song or ringtone for free to a computer, phone or tablet.

How downloading music is legal via YouTube?
Downloading official music is often not legal. This also applies to music from popular artists that we download via YouTube.

As, when we start downloading music from YouTube, what we do is to separate the video and the music via a converter. A converter then converts the music for us to the MP3 format that is well known for digital music. Once the conversion is complete and the mp3 file is created, we can download it to the computer, but also to mobile or tablet.

Downloading the mp3 music is officially as illegal as downloading free music from the internet but can. In theory, you could even be fined for illegally downloading music. But if you do not make it too crazy and keep the music to you and only for yourself, it will probably not run like that. But again, downloading music from YouTube is not legal.

This may mean that the ways described in this article to download music from YouTube no longer work from one moment to the next. Because the judiciary has determined that the owner of, for example, the software or the website with which music from YouTube can be downloaded can no longer make it available.

Download music from YouTube without software
To be able to download music from YouTube, no separate software is required that you must first install on your computer. There are many online converters with which video can be converted to mp3 and are offered via a web application that is built into a web page.
Everything you need to convert a YouTube video to music in mp3 format is a link to the relevant site on which that page is located.

Best Youtube MP3 is such a site that has a web page in which a video to mp3 converter is built.

1. Downloading music from YouTube via online convertors are as follows:

  • Go to YouTube and find the music video that you would like to download.
  • Select the desired music video in the search results.
  • Start playback of the selected song to check its quality.
  • Click in the address bar of the web browser and copy the full URL of the music.

2. Then go to the website BestYoutubeMP3 and Insert the video link (URL) and select format.

3. The file format to which the video will be converted by default is the mp3 format. You do not have to change anything about that. Click the Convert button that appears next to the entry box.

4. Once the conversion is completed, a new window opens with an announcement that the conversion is complete and that you can download the mp3 file to your computer. Click the download button to start the download.

Such possibilities obviously make the downloading of music via YouTube even more attractive. But always be aware that in this way download music from the internet is not legal, so don’t try to sell out officially licensed music videos, songs, albums or anything else you may get in trouble.
