    I download videos from YouTube with JDownloader 2 and then delete the video files so that only music remains.

    You can download a non-reencoded original m4a audio from YouTube.
    It also supports Twitch, Vevo.com, Vimeo, Dailymotion, Facebook, UOL, VKontakte, SoundCloud, TikTok, Likee, Brandnewtube, Brighteon, Rumble and a lot of other sites.
    It is fast and simple.
    The rest you can see here:

    If you're meaning to record just a few seconds or something short, I use Audacity https://www.audacityteam.org/ Choosing "loopback" for the recording device. I use this when there's something sounding into Windows.

    If you're meaning to download videos. I have several ways, because not every site is the same:
    Soundcloud: https://sclouddownloader.net/
    Youtube: https://es.ytmp3.plus/youtube-to-mp3/
    Mixcloud: https://mixclouddownloader.net/

    Anyway, if you want to download something you can't through the site you're in, I always do a search like: "download youtube mp3" and there you'll have results of places where you can do it...

    Hope this helps!

    I do the same, I tend to download the video files and export the audio with something like goldwave.

    I am not sure if the audio file from youtube direct have better quality than the audio in the video files?!
    video files used to have 125kb/s AAC i think. Then there is ogg, Mp3 or M4a too?! I am not really sure.

    Hi @ArticStorm, for me it looks like this:

    1.) All Tomorrow's Parties (152kbit_Opus) / OGG Video File (VLC)

    2.) Sheila & B Devotion - Spacer (extended mix) (128kbit_AAC) / M4A Audio File (VLC) (.m4A) 92 % compressed - 44,1 / 125 kbps /
    Encoder AAC (LC) / Encoding Tool Lavf58.39.101

    Read out with dBpoweramp - I play all files with the VLC Media Player.

    I hold a copy of Youtube-dl in my C drive,
    and then execute this in a cmd with administrator rights:

    c:\youtube-dl -f 251 YourVideoLink -x --audio-format wav -o c:/%(title)s-%(id)s.%(ext)s

    it grabs the highest stream available, and converts it to wav for easier handling.
    and drops it in the C dictory

    yeah ogg has better quality, but no portable player is able to play ogg files. so would need to transcode to mp3.

    So shortcut is probably to just download the video and save audio with mp3 @ 192.

    youtube-dl is also an option.

    Holy cow, I'm scared to reply that...
    Yes, it's a pleasure to use it.
    A dumb but illustrative example: you can download a mp4 video in low A/V quality and then download too the best audio quality available, only the sound, say in aac.
    All of that easily with a GUI. It's a beast.

    "Enhancer for Youtube™" firefox extension.

    https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/enhancer-for-youtube/

    its "download mp3" button leads you to a webbased service but it feels almost like built-in.

    and it has a few other usefuls features such as a more logical and user friendly autoplay/autostop function.

    the original youtube site´s autostart really goes on my nerves.

    The easiest and most direct way is to use tools to download YouTube videos. In this regard, most of the desktop download tools are charged, and some online download tools are free. Take the Geekersoft Free YouTube to MP3/Audio I am using as an example.

    Steps:

    1. Copy your video URL

    2.Open Geekersoft video download URL : Geekersoft Free YouTube to MP3

    3.Paste the copied link

    4.Click on the download Button

    I suggest you try a freeware called NoteBurner YouTube Video Downloader. It supports download videos and audios from YouTube videos.

    Tips: If you want to get music from YouTube Music, you'd better try NoteBurner YouTube Music Converter (a paid app).
