Best Method to Download YouTube Music to CD

At present, streaming music services only support the online and offline listening, which means that you can only stream music from the platform itself including YouTube. You can download songs from YouTube for listening in the offline mode, but all the downloaded songs are cache files not viewable on other places. Thus, you cannot apply YouTube songs to other places.

However, there is a good method for you to download YouTube music to MP3 or other audio formats for listening anywhere. With the help of a third-party tool like TunesKit Audio Capture, you can achieve it. TunesKit Audio Capture can help you download and convert music from YouTube to several popular audio formats without subscribing to membership plans on YouTube.
