We all enjoy watching our favorite music videos on YouTube. But sometimes we just want to listen to those great songs only in audio format for example while we are driving or working out. Unfortunately, you can’t play YouTube videos as audio in the background of your phone for free. You need to purchase YouTube premium subscription which is around $10 per month.
However, if you know the right tool to convert those videos in mp3 format and download directly to your phone or PC to play them offline, you could eventually save all those subscription fees.
