Many people use YouTube primarily as a music streaming platform rather than for videos. The platform offers an extensive music library, often including rare tracks not available on dedicated music services. But what if you want to download YouTube music to your computer or phone for offline listening?

While many online YouTube music downloaders claim to convert YouTube videos to MP3s, they typically produce poor quality results and struggle with HD content. For reliable, high-quality downloads, dedicated desktop app solutions offer better results. Softorino YouTube Converter PRO (SYC PRO) stands out among these YouTube music converters for its ease of use and direct device integration. This download tool to save YouTube content works for both audio and video files. It's literally the best YouTube to MP3 solution in just four simple steps.

Download YouTube Songs in 4 Simple Steps (With SYC PRO)

SYC PRO works as a YouTube music downloader for both Mac and Windows, letting you transfer music directly to Apple devices either via cable or Wi-Fi.

Visit YouTube and locate the YouTube music video or playlist you want to download. Copy the link of any song or YouTube music playlist you want to save.

SYC PRO automatically detects and adds the copied URL to its download queue.

Many users download several tracks at once to build their library faster. The software also provides a way to save your favorite URLs for future reference.

Step 3: Choose Your Settings

That’s how easy it is to download YouTube music to your chosen device. You can also add as many links as you wish, and the converter will download the content from all of them, saving all the video as audio content without doing so much work.

Besides being a simple app to use, SYC PRO lets you handle multiple things at once. It's also a 3-in-1 tool that lets you download YouTube music and a YouTube video with subtitles if you wish.

With SYC PRO, you can also expand your downloads to VR content, even enjoy YouTube live streams, and even video downloads with subtitles, making it the most versatile tool for downloading YouTube videos on iPhone. SYC PRO makes your music transfer as easy as a copy-paste!

Why Choose SYC PRO?

SYC PRO goes beyond just helping you download YouTube music:

  • Download entire YouTube playlist downloads at once

  • Transfer files wirelessly to Apple devices

  • Convert YouTube music to MP3, WAV, or MP4 formats

  • Support for other platforms like Vimeo and SoundCloud

  • Option to download videos from YouTube with subtitles

  • Extract audio from YouTube music videos at 256kbps or 320kbps quality

  • No need for iTunes or third-party iOS software

  • Works on both PC and Mac computers

  • Download YouTube music to your PC or smartphone with specific steps for each device

For those who frequently use YouTube Music free content, this tool offers a way to build a personal library without a premium account. It's especially useful for content creators who need background music for presentations or Excel spreadsheets. You can even download long YouTube videos like concerts or DJ sets.

Alternative Solutions

While SYC PRO offers a comprehensive solution for Apple users, you might consider these alternatives depending on your needs:

1. 4K Video Downloader

This cross-platform tool also supports YouTube music downloads in various formats including 320kbps MP3. It handles YouTube music playlists and channels but lacks direct integration with mobile devices.

2. YMusic (Android)

Android and iOS users have different options. YMusic allows background playback and downloading of YouTube music. It's lightweight but only available for Android smartphones.

3. YouTube Premium

For a monthly premium subscription, YouTube Music Premium offers official offline listening through the YouTube Music app. This legal option supports content creators but requires ongoing payments and an internet connection for initial downloads. YouTube Premium users can access the web player or mobile app to download content legally.

4. Online Tools

Websites like Savefrom and similar online YouTube music downloaders offer quick conversions without requiring software installation. However, these services may have limitations on quality and often display intrusive ads. They typically offer YouTube music to MP3 converter functionality through browser extensions or web interfaces.

When choosing between Spotify and YouTube Music, many users prefer to download music from YouTube Music because it offers more rare and unofficial content. While Spotify requires a premium account for downloads, YouTube Music free content can be downloaded with third-party tools.

To Sum Up

SYC PRO offers the quickest way to download YouTube music to your computer or phone with high-quality results. Unlike free online tools, it preserves audio quality, supports playlists, and transfers directly to devices without subscriptions. Remember to respect copyright laws, and consider trying the free trial to build your personal music library from YouTube's vast collection.
