Best Ways to Extract Music from YouTube Video to MP3

YouTube is the most popular video sharing website in the world. It contains a lot of trending video resources. But sometimes it is more than you need.

If you are doing exercise like running, driving or you are in a remote area where you don't have a good Internet connection, you may just want to listen to music, podcasts, lectures or other type of audio files instead of audio.

In addition, YouTube won't let you play videos in the background on Android/iOS without paying for YouTube. It will cost you $9.99/month which is not affordable for some users.

So is there a way to convert YouTube to MP3 for listen to anytime freely? The answer is yes. Depending on different devices you have, the instruction varies. Here I will offer the top 3 ways to record audio from YouTube on Android, iOS and computers.

Part 1. How to Record Audio from YouTube on Mobile Devices

Mobile phones are the most common devices which we used for listening to music on the go. By recording music on mobile phone directly, you don't need to transfer them from computer again.

Record Music from iPhone

Ever since iOS 11, iPhone has been integrated with the free screen recorder. This means you can record your iPhone screen together with the in-app audio directly. You can also turn the microphone on so that you can record your voice too.

But if you just want to record music from your iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch, obviously the screen recorder is not a best option because it combines the screen recording which will make the output files really big.

In this case, you can try the free online audio recorder called TheYouMP3.com. It is one of the best YouTube MP3 grabbers which can help you get the job done within a few clicks.

Step 3. You can click "Convert" to start recording YouTube music. When it is done, you can click "Download" to save the MP3 file to your iPhone.

Rip Music from Android

For Android phones, the default recorders are different from different brands like Samsung, Huawei, Pixel, OnePlus, ViVo and so on. For your convenience, I will recommend a universal yet best YouTube MP3 Extractor called Peggo. It allows you to rip audio from YouTube videos on Android with 2 quick taps. Let me show you how does it work here.

Step 1. Download and install Peggo app for free on your Android phone. It is not available from Google Play store, so you need to make sure to enable the option to install apps from unknown sources on your phone.

Step 2. Share a video from YouTube to Peggo.

Step 3. After sharing, the app will be ready to download an MP3, please just tap "Record MP3". When it's finished, you can find your recording in the Peggo folder.

Part 2. How to Download Music from YouTube Losslessly and Automatically on Computers

Although it is possible to extract music from YouTube on mobile phones, its efficiency and quality may not be satisfactory sometimes. For example, it takes real time to record and the music could be combined with noise or blank segments.

If you have a large amount of songs which you want to download, obviously the solution above could end up taking you a lot of time.

To solve this issue, you can try this brand new YouTube to MP3 Converter DRmare Audio Capture. Compared to other free streaming audio recorders, it has many advantages.

First, it has the automatic monitoring feature which can detect and record your songs the moment you play it. In this way, there won't be blank segments or noises. Second, it has the multi-track processing technology, enabling you to record more than 1 song simultaneously without interfering with each other. The best part is that it will keep 100% original quality including the original ID3 tags, metadata and so on.

For freewares, they are usually take real time to record and the output songs will contain some system noises unavoidably. For DRmare Audio Capture, it is not free. But it will help me save a lot of money by downloading the lossless songs just as if I have purchased by music stores. I will highly recommend it if you have a lot of songs to download.
