Use These Apps to Download Music From YouTube

YouTube is among the best sources of music on the internet. Not only does the service have a massive collection of songs, but it also has rare tracks you won’t find anywhere else. If you want to download music from YouTube and listen to it offline when you’re in a place with limited internet connectivity, we’ve got you covered.

Download music from YouTube by subscribing to YouTube Premium

The most reliable method for downloading music from YouTube is by paying for the service. You can either get YouTube Premium for $13.99 per month or subscribe to YouTube Music Premium for $10.99 per month. These are two separate services: YouTube Premium comes with YouTube Music Premium, but not the other way around. Both services allow you to download music from YouTube, along with other features such as removing ads. YouTube Premium just comes with a host of features surrounding the video-side of the platform. If you only want music, you can save a little money by subscribing to YouTube Music Premium itself.

All other methods to download music from YouTube are unofficial and may violate the site’s terms of service, but YouTube doesn’t do much to stop you. (Just don’t upload copyrighted materials you’ve downloaded.) In addition, you should also know that using unofficial YouTube downloaders could compromise your security in case the app is bought by malicious developers. Always do some up-to-date research before downloading an unofficial app from the internet. That being said, we have vetted the following options:

Download music from YouTube on Android

If you have an Android phone, you can try using NewPipe to download music from YouTube. You’ll have to enable sideloading on your Android phone to install the app. Once installed, you’ll see a download button on every YouTube video. When you tap that, select Audio to only download the music, and not the accompanying visuals.

Download music from YouTube on iPhone

On your iPhone, the best method to download music from YouTube is via Apple’s Shortcuts app. After installing Shortcuts, follow the steps we’ve described in our in-depth guide to downloading YouTube videos on your iPhone. The JAYD shortcut is great, and you can select the Download Audio option to avoid downloading the videos as well.

Download music from YouTube on your computer

On your laptop or desktop, you can use the 4K YouTube to MP3 app to get music from YouTube. It’s as simple as pasting the YouTube URL in the app and letting it handle the rest. This app will download music in MP3 by default, but you can change the format to M4A or OGG if you like.

The free version of the app allows 15 downloads per day, which is good enough for most people, but it may be a problem if you’re trying to download large playlists in one go. The app allows you to remove the download restriction at a starting price of $15 for a permanent license.
