YouTube To MP3

YouTube To MP3 is a small software application developed specifically for helping you download videos from YouTube for offline viewing. Of course, in order to be able to grab the desired clips, you need to have an active Internet connection. The utility can be deployed on Windows XP, Vista, and 7.

You are welcomed by an intuitive interface that integrates all configuration parameters into a single window, making it very easy for you to set up downloading tasks. Although you cannot appeal to a help manual, you can get an idea about how the program works in a short amount of time, thanks to its straightforward features.

YouTube To MP3 gives you the possibility to manually paste a valid YouTube link directly in the main window. On the downside, the application does not offer support for automatic clipboard actions for URLs so you need to specify the target link each time.

The tool reveals information about the URL, title, status, and destination, and allows you to start, pause, or continue the downloading process for each clip.

What’s more, you can pick the saving directory where the downloaded files are stored, pause or resume all tasks, and delete the selected files or remove all with a single click.

You may save the grabbed clips to various video formats, namely AVI, M2T, FLV, MP4, MPEG, M1V, M2V, MOV, or WMV, as well as choose between several preset video quality profiles (e.g. high, normal, low).

Aside from saving clips to your disk for offline viewing, the program helps you extract the audio streams and export them to AAC, AIFF, AU, AC3, FLAC, MP3, OGG, WAV, or WMA file format.

The utility is not a resource hog so you do not have to worry that it eats up CPU and memory resources. However, it did not perform well in our tests because it was unable to process YouTube links and kept treating them as invalid.

All things considered, YouTube To MP3 has to offer nothing more than a simplistic approach for helping you save your favorite YouTube clips and songs to your computer. Functionality improvements are needed in order to enhance the downloading process.
