Simple Youtube2Mp3

One of the biggest and most popular video sharing platforms is YouTube, but there is no default download button. However, there are several applications that can help you grab videos and create an offline collection of music or clips. One of them is Simple Youtube2Mp3.

This particular application provides a straightforward means of downloading videos from the YouTube platform, extracting the audio stream of each and saving it as an MP3 file. In other words, it allows you to create an offline collection of music, which you can listen to in any player, at any time, even in the absence of an Internet connection.

As its name implies, working with this application should come easily to anyone. The interface is well-structured, having a menu section and the main panel that hosts the list of all the videos that were already downloaded or are enqueued. To add a new URL to the list, you simply have to press the classic CTRL-V paste combination while the application is on focus or just press the 'Paste' button instead to paste the clipboard content.

The content is not automatically downloaded as you place it in the queue, although you can also configure Simple Youtube2Mp3 to do so. Instead, the application retrieves information about the clip and displays the name, the author, the duration, and a small preview image then waits for your download command.

By default, Simple Youtube2Mp3 only extracts the audio and saves it as MP3, but it also features video downloading capabilities.

A near-tray notification message is displayed when a task is complete. You can reload a job by re-downloading a video directly from the 'History' area.

Simple Youtube2Mp3 is very easy to handle and downloading video content from YouTube is a breeze. For your convenience, it also supports full YouTube playlists. While its speed is quite good and using it is simple, note that there are no other supported audio and video formats. Other than that, it works as promised
