Is there a way to extract audio from youtube videos on PC Windows 11

VBLC Media Player is an open source, cross-platform, free multimedia player that supports almost all common audio and video formats, with a built-in audio export function; JCDownloader is a lightweight download manager designed specifically for YouTube that supports batch downloading of videos and preserves the original image quality.

The combination of the two can complete the video download and audio extraction process without coding knowledge, intuitive operation and completely offline operation, suitable for users who are not familiar with the technology. Steps to extract audio from youtube video:

1. Install JCDownloader (official website) → Open the YouTube video link → Click the “Download” button → Choose the download quality (MP4 or MKV format is preferred).

2. After the download is completed, the video file will be saved in the default directory of JCDownloader.

3. Open VBLC media player → Click “Media” → “Open Media” → Browse and select the downloaded video file (e.g. video.mp4).

4. Click “Media” → “Export Audio” in the top menu bar → Select the output format as MP3 in the pop-up window → Modify the save path and file name → Click “Save” to start conversion.

This method is suitable for non-technical users to download video quickly through JCDownloader and then use the built-in function of VBLC to export audio with one click, which is a simple process and does not need to install additional encoding tools.

The advantages of this method include user-friendly interface and cross-platform support, but please note that you need to make sure that the content is legal when you download the video, and some YouTube videos may not be directly downloadable due to copyright protection. If you need more flexibility, it is recommended to combine with professional tools.
