YouTube Music Downloader

YouTube Music Downloader is an application made to download YouTube videos and save them as local clips, as well as to extract the audio stream to create MP3 tracks. It comes in handy if you're planning to put together a music or movie collection for your MP3 or DVD player.

Wrapped up in a simple interface made from a single window, the tool is pretty easy to get around, thanks to the fact that all options are pretty self-explanatory.

You can paste the video URL in a box, ask the program to only download the videos or to proceed with the MP3 conversion automatically, select the preferred quality from a list or tell the program to get the best available one, as well as specify the destination where you want to save the audio or video files on your computer.

YouTube Music Downloader is equipped with a Clipboard live monitoring tool, which means that it autodetects a YouTube link as soon as you copy it, and it and pastes the URL in the box on its own.

Once you trigger the downloading job, you can inspect progress details on the bottom side of the image. When it comes to interface customization options, it's possible to adjust the hue and saturation of the skin by moving two sliders.

Regrettably, the application failed in its attempts to download YouTube clips in our tests (it didn't get passed the analysis stage and displayed an error dialog to inform us that the download failed).

On top of this, the unregistered edition has pretty limited features (such as downloading multiple videos at the same time) while the registered version seems a too expensive when taking into account the features offered by YouTube Music Downloader.
