SimplyYoutube

As more and more people use YouTube for entertainment and product presentations, there has been an increase in the programs that allow users to save videos to their disks. These allow anyone to create offline repositories of public content and can serve as a great backup for important videos.

SimplyYoutube is a specialized YouTube downloader that can be employed to save online content to MP3 format. However, before anything is transferred, one must first register. This is performed from within the program and does not require any browsers to be opened.

Once the registration process is complete, users are free to provide URL addresses for the application to process. The tool will recognize any YouTube links, however it will not automatically grab addresses from the Clipboard or an active browser. All content is saved locally, in the program's main folder. Perhaps future versions will feature a customized destination path option, as it could really increase the tool's overall performance.

Users should note that all content is saved to MP3 format. Thus, the application can be effectively employed as an audio ripper, allowing users to separate the sound from the video of their favorite tracks. All transfers are accompanied by timestamps, allowing users to backtrack their steps, in case of errors.

A notable feature is the ability to batch download multiple videos. This can be performed with a simple TXT document, already present in the program's folder. Users who wish to employ this feature will have to add items in a sequential order (i.e. one address per line).

Summing up, SimplyYoutube is a good tool for anyone interested in creating offline backups of YouTube content.
