Any good youtube mp3 converter for mac in 2025?
Record the youtube video on mac with QuickTime player first. After that, convert them for mp3 audio.
Part 1: Record Youtube Video as MP4
1. Open QuickTime Player on your Mac and click File > New Screen Recording.
2. In the recording toolbar, click the dropdown arrow (▼) next to the record button.
3. Select Record Selected Portion and drag a box around the YouTube video player.
4. Open the YouTube video in Safari/Chrome and maximize the player.
5. Click Record in QuickTime, then play the YouTube video.
6. When done, click the Stop button in the menu bar (or press ⌘ + ⌃ + Esc). QuickTime will save the recording as a .mov file.
Part 2: Convert .mov to .mp3 on Mac
1. Open the Music app (formerly iTunes).
2. Drag the .mov or .m4a file into your library.
3. Right-click the file > Song Info > Options.
4. Set Import As: MP3 Encoder.
5. Go to File > Convert > Create MP3 Version.
This is indirect way to get it done without using youtube mp3 converter on mac. The only problem is that it takes too much time and the audio quality is not that good.
