Get the answer: How to convert Youtube to MP3 on Mac
It was a revolutionary year when Youtube came out and gave us something we couldn't even think of. The biggest video database in the world, full of music, free for everybody and the best source of getting who's hot, what's new and what is actually going on in the world of music. It's difficult to think of something you can't find on Youtube – from old memes, to full albums to live concerts from best music festivals – everything is in one place. We can share everything, regardless if it's a cover, piano tutorial of just a video with lyrics and an MP3 song on a background. That's why we love Youtube.
You know why we don't always love Youtube? Because, as I said, it's a video resource's a video resource. Officially, you can't download a video or rip tracks from a video (only if you use special software). Yet, people are still struggling to convert youtube to MP3 to be able to listen to full albums for free. Since most streaming services work via paid subscriptions, Youtube remains one of few free streaming services. However, to listen to music you don't necessarily have to convert youtube to MP3, but use an audio player for Mac that streams only music without video.
Some apps that offer Youtube streaming are too expensive (on average $10 per month). Others violate Youtube's Terms & Conditions, but today I will reveal an easy and legal way to convert Youtube to MP3 on Mac.
The most obvious way to do that is to google 'how to convert Youtube to MP3 on Mac' and open the first link offering you some tool when you paste a Youtube link and download the audio. But it's not a good thing to do. Here's why:
Sound QualityAnd again, Youtube is a video service, don't expect to find Hi-Res audio there. All videos are in a bad quality at 128 kbps WebM. When you convert youtube to MP3, you reduce the sound quality even more, and there's nothing left from the original recording. Only the melody.
TimeConverting Youtube to MP3 on Mac, especially a long video like some DJ's live set takes lots of time. So why should you be waiting for five minutes to convert a video and then another five to download converted MP3? That's called bad time management.
How to convert Youtube to MP3 on Mac and not waste time or destroy the sound quality? VOX is a unique audio player that features this very service we are talking about here - Youtube streaming.
