Popular YouTube MP3 Downloader

With the help of Popular YouTube MP3 Downloader you can seamlessly download video clips from YouTube and automatically extract their audio streams to create and save MP3 audio tracks.

This is a pretty straightforward application that features a set of simple options for those interested in quickly putting together a music collection to store on MP3 players, iPods and other media devices.

Setting up this tool is a speedy task. However, because it's ad-supported, it offers to download and install third-party components that it doesn't actually need to work properly, as well as to make some changes to your web browsers. These offers can be declined to make a clean installation, however, as long as you don't rush through the wizard steps.

In regard to the interface, Popular YouTube MP3 Downloader has a standard window with a minimalistic design and clear-cut layout, showing all options put at your disposal.

All you have to do is type or paste the link of a YouTube video, and click a button to start the task. As previously mentioned, the video is automatically converted to MP3 format after extracting the audio stream and removing the video track.

During this time, you can minimize the tool to the taskbar notifications area, in order to make it non-intrusive and carry on with your typical activity on the computer. This especially comes in handy when attempting to download a large file, such as a long mix or full album.

There are no other notable settings provided by this program. Unfortunately, it doesn't support batch processing, which means that you're restricted to downloading and converting only one video at a time. This may be inconvenient when preparing to download and convert numerous items. The conversion of local files is unsupported too.

It didn't hang, crash or indicate errors in our tests. CPU and RAM usage was minimal, so it didn't hog system resources either. It may not be a feature-rich application, but Popular YouTube MP3 Downloader offers a simple solution for downloading YouTube clips and turning them into MP3s.
