Although there are many platforms for listening to music directly, you've probably seen a YouTube video and wished you could extract the audio exactly as you hear it on the platform. Well, you should know that there are tools for converting YouTube content to MP3 , and today we're going to show you how to use one of the most popular, user-friendly, and comprehensive options available, so you can convert any song to MP3.
Snappea, the ideal solution
As we mentioned, there are several solutions for converting YouTube videos to MP3 format, so you might feel a bit confused about which one to choose to avoid using too many options at once and getting overwhelmed. Among them, our favorite is undoubtedly Snappea, which we've mentioned before, as it offers a very simple process and is very intuitive to use.
In case you weren't familiar with it, Snappea lets you convert YouTube videos to MP3 with just a few clicks. The great thing about this platform is that it offers everything right on its website, including searching for videos you're interested in, so you don't have to browse through multiple sites. If you prefer, you can also use an app for Android devices, which similarly simplifies the conversion process—it also lets you create playlists and watch videos in dark mode, among other features.
How are they converted?
The process, as we indicated, is very simple and requires only a few steps , which we detail below:
- Access the Snappea website and in the search engine, write the name of the YouTube video (or even just the artist) that interests you.
- You will get a good list of results with a thumbnail of each video, the duration time, the views it has, and a download arrow.
- Click on the image that interests you.
- A new page will open with the video in small format (you can play it if you want) and a section that says "Download video in music".
- Choose the rate of beats you are interested in (the higher, the larger the file will be) and click on the yellow "Download" button.
- Ready. Before you blink twice, you will have the file in the download folder of your PC in MP3 format to save and listen to wherever and whenever you want.
Simpler, impossible.
What is beat rate?
Perhaps when you reach step 5 of this simple step-by-step guide we've just provided, you might wonder which beat rate is best, or even be completely unsure what this concept means. We don't want to get too technical, but to put it simply, this term refers to the density of information contained in each second of an audio file.
This means that the higher the rate, the more information, which in turn will translate into better quality. At the same time, growth in these terms also implies that the final file is larger and weighs more. In the case of the song that we have chosen for our guide, JayJen's "Pineapple" (copyright-free for use in this article), the 2:05 minutes that it lasts do not weigh the same depending on the bit rate with which it is given to us. let's download: at 70K they occupy 1,0 MB while at 160K they reach 2,0 MB, just twice as much.
You will have to take this into account depending on the quality you are looking for and balance it, of course, with the storage capacity you have so you don't find yourself running out of space -we are talking about small sizes but if you download many tracks you could find this limitation.
Keep that in mind.
