I still advise caution because by the time you read this article their site might have changed and include nefarious pop-unders or similar, but for now, it’s clean, easy, and not even too polluted by advertising. Super annoying, to say the least.įortunately, I eventually found the site. To figure out a safe site, I went through a lot of other services that automatically downloaded installers onto my system (which I promptly deleted) and worse. The other issue is that since this is a gray area, much of the software and most of the Web sites that offer the service “free” are full of malware, pop-ups, required registration so they can harvest your personal information, and worse. Just be aware that it isn’t as clear and free as it may seem, however much it may be tempting to grab all the tracks from the latest popular CD and copy the resultant MP3 onto your smartphone. Then again, that’s your call whether you want to head into the gray area of content rights and intellectual property, not mine. If you’re extracting the music portion of a music video that an artist – or fan – has posted then it’s a bit more complicated because while having it hosted on YouTube implicitly grants you the right to watch and listen to it on whatever devices you can use to access YouTube, it doesn’t grant you the right to the audio separately. A quick Google search reveals that there are a ton of tools that can help you extract just the audio portion of a YouTube video, but before we go there, let’s talk briefly about legality, shall we? If the video in question is a lecture from your prof at school and you just want to be able to review the audio portion while on the bus, that’s all good and there’s not much issue.
