  • Start by pasting a URL of the desired video in the search box.

  • Click on Go, choose the audio format and press Convert.

  • Wait until the conversion is done and download the file.

Helpful and informative post! And I'd like to say AnyMusic is also a pretty powerful tool to help you download YouTube music to your local folder, and then you can move the music to your USB easily.
