How to Download Songs from YouTube to MP3

Making an MP3 can be useful for songs you recorded, music you manage for a client, or licensed tracks used in an approved project. The essential first step is always the same: confirm that you have the right to make and keep an audio copy before using an online converter.

Download authorized songs only: use YTBMP3.NET only where you own the relevant music rights or have clear permission or a licence that allows downloading and converting. A song being publicly available on YouTube does not make it free to copy. This is general information, not legal advice.

Check the music rights before you start

A song can involve rights in the composition, lyrics, sound recording, performance, and video. You need a valid right or authorization for the audio you plan to convert and for your intended use of the MP3.

Examples of potentially appropriate sources include your own channel uploads, music created for your organization, client projects where permission is documented, or works distributed under a licence that permits your intended use. When in doubt, ask the rights holder.
