Part 2: How to Put YouTube MP3 Music on an MP3 Player
After the YouTube audio has been saved as MP3, the next step is simple: transfer the file to your MP3 player. Most MP3 players work like a USB storage device, so you can copy the converted songs directly. Some models may also support a microSD card. Before transferring, make sure the file name is clear, the audio can play normally on your computer, and the MP3 player supports the MP3 format.
Step 1. Connect the MP3 Player to Your Computer
Use a USB cable to connect the MP3 player to your Windows PC. If a prompt appears on the player, choose a mode such as “File Transfer”, “USB Storage”, or “MTP”. Then open “This PC” and find the device or removable drive.
Step 2. Copy the Converted MP3 Files
Open the folder where Free HD Video Converter Factory saved the converted MP3 files. Select the songs you want to move, copy them, and paste them into the “Music” folder or another audio folder on the MP3 player. If your player uses a microSD card, you can also copy the files to the card and then insert it into the player.
Step 3. Safely Eject and Play the Music
After the transfer finishes, safely eject the MP3 player from Windows. Turn on the player and refresh its music library if needed. If the song does not show up, check whether it is saved in the correct folder, whether the file extension is “.mp3”, and whether the player supports the file’s bitrate or sample rate.
Part 3: How to Download MP3 from YouTube on Online Converters
Online video converters can be useful when you only need to save one short audio file and do not want to install software. However, online tools change often. Some pages may show misleading download buttons, pop-up ads, bundled extensions, or scripts. For safety, avoid sites that ask you to install extra software, disable browser protection, or grant unnecessary permissions. Here's some sample sites for your reference.
1. ytmp3.cc (now convertytmp3.org)
YTMP3 is a clean and uncluttered website on which you will not be bothered by any ads. And the operation interface is self-explanatory. Enter a YouTube video URL, choose MP3 or MP4 according to your needs, click “Converter”, and download the converted file. YTMP3 stands out for its simple and clean steps, yet there still are some shortcomings. It doesn’t support converting a video longer than one hour in consideration of conversion speed.
2. y2mate.gs
Y2mate is a multiple-purpose video converter not only for YouTube, but also supporting Facebook, Video, Dailymotion, Youku, etc. You can either enter the title or the URL of a video to the site for conversion. And it will display more than one download option for your selection. Meanwhile, you can insert “PP” after “YouTube” in the video web address to convert YouTube videos more handily.
3. keepvid.online
KeepVid is a dedicated YouTube to MP3 online converter. It offers an exceptionally simple and fast way to download YouTube video to MP3: Enter a URL, analyze the URL, convert the YouTube video, and download the MP3 file. But the ad page pops up now and then. You need to close it manually.
Part 4: What to Know About YouTube to MP3 Extensions
Browser extensions can be convenient, but they are usually the least stable choice for YouTube to MP3. Many official browser stores restrict YouTube downloading features, so extensions may disappear, lose features, require a companion app, or stop working after browser or YouTube updates. Use this method only when you trust the developer and understand the permissions it asks for.
1. Addoncrop YouTube Downloader for Chrome
The official extensions in the Chrome web store all don’t support YouTube video download due to terms of service restrictions. So users turn to third-party Chrome video downloader and among similar options, Addoncrop YouTube Downloader is popular with the crowd for its functionality and efficiency. It supports up to 1080p resolution and can convert YouTube videos to MP3 and other common file formats. After installing it on your browser, there will be a download button under the video you’re playing. Hit the button and select the desired MP3 format for downloading.
2. Video DownloadHelper for Firefox
It goes without saying that Video DownloadHelper is the best file download extension for Firefox that can help users easily save any video embedded on a web page. But its conversion feature isn’t free, which requires a DownloadHelper/ConvertHelper license costing $16. You can decide whether it is worthy based on your actual needs.
