It might not come as a surprise, but it seems that people spend a lot of time on YouTube jamming to music instead of watching something else.

After all, when you take a step back, you can see that YouTube can actually compete with the popular music services like Spotify and

Apple Music in terms of the music available. You can even find songs the other services don’t have by searching on YouTube. You may even find music that doesn’t qualify as a song but can still be great to jam with on your phone. You can say that YouTube music has a lot to offer for your music library.

Still, it can be easy to forget that YouTube is a video hub. After all, many songs uploaded on YouTube are files added for listening only. A good example of this is the “videos” that have an image and an audio track. You’d even be surprised that they can get a lot of views.

That’s why it is understandable that YouTube fans attempted to save these songs in MP3 format and listen to them without going through the controls like they’re watching videos.

While various websites offer the feature to convert YouTube videos to MP3 files, it’s no secret that those services often lag. With just a few clicks, the results are less than stellar.

That’s why downloading HD video songs can be tricky. So what’s the best way? Go for legit software that’s got features to help you download video songs from YouTube and save them as high-quality MP3 files and has a reputation for being a good tool.

It’s also the best way to download YouTube songs to an iPhone or computer, which can be done in 30 seconds with three steps!
