Looking for a simple way to download music from YouTube to your iPhone or iPad? Or maybe you need to download YouTube videos on Mac? While many websites and apps promise to help, few deliver a truly straightforward solution. Here's the most effective method available.

How to download music from YouTube to your Apple device

SYC PRO is an ad-free application that converts YouTube videos to MP3 format and transfers your favorite songs directly to your mobile device for offline listening. In essence, it can record audio from YouTube or download videos and convert them to MP3 audio files.

While jailbroken devices have other options for downloading music from YouTube, we'll focus on the legitimate SYC PRO solution below.

The app works on both Mac & Windows 💻

After downloading the installation file, launch it and follow the setup guide. This will help you properly install and configure the converter. Once installation completes, Softorino YouTube Converter PRO is ready to show you how to download music from YouTube videos to your Apple device.

You'll need to activate a 1-day free trial with your email when prompted at startup.

Connect your iPad via Wi-Fi or with a standard USB/USB-C cable. For first-time connections, you might need to use a wired connection.

Step 3. Find your music video and copy its URL

Find the video you want to download. Copy the URL from your browser's address bar.

After copying, you'll see the video appear in the app window. Select 'Audio' mode and choose where to save the file. SYC PRO will automatically select the highest available audio quality.

Wait a few seconds, and you'll find the file in your Apple Music app.

No suspicious browser extensions or third-party apps needed. No wasted time.

The official way to save music from YouTube

YouTube recognizes that users want to save music from their platform.

If you prefer to listen to audio and video as YouTube intends, YouTube Music Premium is an option. However, if you want to download music from YouTube without subscription restrictions, SYC PRO is your best alternative.

Is it legal to save music from YouTube?

According to YouTube's Terms of Service, you cannot download any audio content unless it's "particularly permitted by the service" or you receive written permission from YouTube or the rights holder.

YouTube hosts millions of songs, many uploaded by users rather than record labels.

You can freely use music from these videos in your creative works, and downloading them won't violate terms of service or law.

However, be aware that YouTube's Audio Library (which features copyright-free music) states: "You can NOT use third-party software to download the video/track; always use our download links."

Bottom Line

Now you know how to download music from YouTube to your Apple device with minimal hassle. SYC PRO makes the process incredibly simple—just a few clicks and you're done.

Your downloaded content goes straight to the Videos or TV app (for videos) and Apple Music (for audio), eliminating the need for iTunes. This solution works with all Apple devices and standard software, with no need for third-party players.

SYC PRO comes with a free 24-hour trial, so you can test it out immediately. Give it a try and simplify how you download music from YouTube!
