If you are not a YouTube Premium subscriber, then there will be no official way for you to download video or audio from YouTube. Even if you have subscribed to YouTube Premium, you are allowed to download songs and videos to your mobile device for offline listening or watching only. Therefore, if you want to download audio from YouTube on your Mac, you have to use a third-party YouTube audio downloader for help.
