Many free YouTube to WAV converter for PC on the Microsoft Store or elsewhere for audio extraction are designed to work as part of a two-step process:
1. Download the YouTube video using a separate downloader.
2. Extract the audio as WAV using an audio conversion or extraction tool.
Most dedicated YouTube to WAV converters are either paid or may come with ads or limitations. Free options tend to be simpler and often require combining a downloader with an audio converter for best results.
If you're specifically seeking a single, all-in-one YouTube to WAV converter, those are quite rare and often limited or potentially unsafe. The most reliable approach is to:
- Download the video with a trusted YouTube downloader (e.g., Cl1ipGrab)
- Use a free YouTube to WAV converter like Aud0city or ffmmppeg to convert the downloaded video to WAV
