Part 2. Download Music from YouTube on Chromebook using Online Downloaders

While YouTube Music Premium offers a convenient way to legally download music, you can also use online downloaders to save your favorite tracks from YouTube for offline listening. These downloaders typically convert videos to MP3 or MP4 formats compatible with your preferred media players.

Step 1Find the YouTube Video with the Music You Want

1. Open your web browser on your Chromebook.
2. Visit YouTube (www.youtube.com).
3. Search for the video containing the music you want to download.
4. Click on the video to open it.
5. Copy the video's URL from the address bar of your web browser. Right-click the URL and select "Copy."

1. Open a new tab in your web browser.
2. Visit your preferred YouTube Music online downloader. You'll find various online tools that convert YouTube videos to MP3 audio files.
3. Select one with positive user reviews and an intuitive interface.

5. Right-click in the field and select "Paste" to insert the URL you copied from the YouTube video.
6. After pasting the URL, you'll typically find a "Convert" or "Start" button on the website. Click this button to begin the conversion process.

Part 3. Download Music from YouTube to Chromebook using Music Downloaders

In Part 1 and 2, we explored methods to access and download music directly on your Chromebook, but each approach has its limitations. Downloading music directly from the YouTube Music app necessitates an active Premium subscription, while using online downloaders primarily supports video content alone. So, what if you desire to download both music and video content from your favorite sources?

Sometimes, it's more practical to download music on your Windows or Mac computer, particularly when you have an extensive collection or specific software preferences. This way, you can acquire a broader range of content and easily transfer these downloaded files to your Chromebook for on-the-go enjoyment. To bridge this gap, you'll need a versatile tool that can efficiently convert YouTube videos into multiple audio formats compatible with your Chromebook.
