How to Download Music from YouTube to Computer

YouTube is most famous for its video streaming service, but there are also many artists uploading their music here. Some of the music is really so great and resonates with me at that moment. I would like to keep them on my PC and listen to them again whenever I want to. But you know, YouTube doesn't offer the service to download music from YouTube videos for free. Today, I will recommend an amazing tool to download music from YouTube to computer.

Part 1. How to Download Music from YouTube to Computer 

Let's back to the beginning, what if you want to download music from YouTube in an audio file or exact audio from YouTube videos? The tool I recommend is EaseUS MobiMover and EaseUS Ringtone Editor. 

EaseUS MobiMover is a free iPhone data transfer tool that has a built-in video downloader and converter. With this tool, you can easily get music from YouTube videos by extracting the audio file and saving them in MP3, especially for those music videos. This is a fantastic way for you to get the music you like from the Internet. If you want to keep the music video directly to your computer, EaseUS MobiMover can download the video to your PC as well. 

Step 1. Run EaseUS MobiMover, go to "Video Downloader" and choose the path you want to save the downloaded YouTube videos. If you want to download YouTube videos to your mobile device, connect it to your PC first.

Step 2. Copy the URL of the YouTube video you want to download, paste it into the bar in MobiMover, then click the "Download" button. 

Step 3. After you click the "Download" button, MobiMover will quickly analyze the URL and download the YouTube video to your computer or iPhone/iPad/iPod touch.

Step 1. Install EaseUS Ringtone Editor on your Windows PC and launch it. Then click the "Search" tab.

Step 2. You can enter both a keyword or a specific video URL to get started. I will enter a keyword here. Preview the videos and choose the one you like, then click "Select" to load the audio from the YouTube video.

Step 3. Click "Clip" to cut the audio to a fragment less than 40 seconds. You can also add a recording or sound effects to your the clip if you want.

No matter the video/music you want to download is from a company or an individual, remember that there is an owner and a copyright holder for it unless it is clearly marked as copyright-free. You are not allowed to download the content for any commercial use nor spread it. Keep in mind you are only allowed to download copyright-free content or download it for personal use only.
