Youtube CD Creator

Nowadays, many people prefer to load up a YouTube playlist instead of using a classic media player to listen to music, as the service provides you with an impressive amount of content. However, if you wish to download these songs and burn them to CDs, you need to rely on a third-party application.

Youtube CD Creator is a relatively straightforward utility that enables you to download music from the popular hosting service and save songs as MP3 files or burn them to audio CDs. It is very easy to use, but some of its features have not yet been fully implemented.

There is no need to fire up your preferred web browser when you wish to find your favorite songs, as this operation can be performed from within Youtube CD Creator. The browser window takes up the bulk of the interface, and it offers a few essential navigation tools.

When you have found a certain track, you can download it and prepare it for burning by clicking the “Get Song” button. However, the button flashes continuously until it is clicked, which can get quite irritating.

It is also worth noting that, when pasting a YouTube URL in the address bar, you need to remove the section that identifies the protocol (“http://” or “https://”), as the page is not displayed correctly otherwise.

At present, it is only possible to burn the downloaded files to Audio CDs, as the “Export MP3” function has not yet been implemented.

After adding your songs to the processing queue, you need to wait until their length is displayed to make sure they are ready to be burned. You can also add local files to the compilation, but it is not yet possible to import playlists.

If you are working with a rewritable CD, the program allows you to erase its contents before burning any new files.

Youtube CD Creator is not a perfect application, but the issues we have highlighted are not particularly difficult to fix, and the missing functions are due to be implemented in future releases. The program is very intuitive, and it features a streamlined, modern user interface.
