Get Educated on How to Download and Convert Videos YouTube started gaining popularity in 2007. Before long, it rose to one of the most viewed websites on all time. YouTube offered a service no other site had ever offered before- the ability to be able to share video with anyone and everyone. There were no limits, and before long videos from obscure people were getting millions of likes from around the world. Because of the varied nature of YouTube, there are often videos people want to download to be able to watch offline again and again. For this purpose, YouTube converter websites started popping up. These sites allow you to convert YouTube videos into mp3 files in three easy steps. Choose a video, convert it, and give it a home.
Choose a Video The first step is choosing a video to convert. For some, the live music available is attractive. They want to download convert the video and listen to it as a song. Other options for videos to download may include something educational like a recorded lecture that has been uploaded, a book, movie quotes or parodies. The decision is yours. The only thing to keep in mind when choosing a video to convert is that you are converting it into an Mp3 file, which is an audio file. In other words, the video you convert will be heard and not seen.
Convert the Video When you have chosen a video to convert, it is time to enter it into the converter website. To do so, simply copy and paste the link into the appropriate space and press enter. The converter should show that it is processing the video and turning it into an mp3 file. The process shouldn’t take longer than a couple of minutes. When the conversion is done, the site will inform you that the video is now an audio file. Most converter sites are free and don’t put a limit on the amount of videos you convert. If you find a new artist you like, you can convert every YouTube video he has into a music file for listening.
Give the File a Home One the file has been converted it is time to give it a home. In other words, it is time to decide where you want to put the file so that it will be easily accessible. If it is a music file, transfer it into your music-playing program and edit it so that the name of the artist and
title of the song show up. Doing this before you transfer the file into your music playing software will save you the headache of trying to guess what the computer named the file when it converted it. If you are converting lectures, make a folder of them with each one labeled individually to avoid confusion. Whatever you converted, make sure it put in a place that is easily accessible. Converting your YouTube videos doesn’t have to be complicated. Following these three steps will allow you to listen to your favorite YouTube videos whenever you’d like.
