Youtube Music Free Download Songs

YouTube Music offers both official and unofficial ways to download songs for offline listening. The official method requires a YouTube Music Premium or YouTube Premium subscription, which unlocks the download feature inside the YouTube Music app on Android and iOS devices. With a subscription, users can manually select songs, playlists, or albums to download, or enable “smart downloads” to automatically save favorite tracks when connected to Wi-Fi[1][3][5].

To download legally using the official app:

  • Open the YouTube Music app and select the song, album, or playlist you wish to download.
  • Tap the three-dot menu or download button, then choose “Download.”[1][3]
  • Access your offline music via the “Library” or “Downloads” section.
  • Automatic downloads can be enabled by turning on “smart downloads” in the app settings.[1][3]

For users without a Premium subscription who still wish to download music from YouTube Music, several third-party tools and websites are available. Popular options include Y2Mate, aTube Catcher, 4K Download, OnlyMP3, and MP3Juices, among others. These tools can convert YouTube Music content to MP3 or other audio formats, typically via a copy-and-paste URL interface. However, using these services for copyrighted material may violate YouTube’s terms of service and local copyright laws. They are intended primarily for non-copyrighted or royalty-free works[1][2][4][5].

To use a free third-party downloader:

  • Locate the desired song or playlist on YouTube Music and copy its URL.
  • Open a downloader website (such as OnlyMP3 or MP3Juices) and paste the URL into the input field.
  • Click “Convert” or “Download” to generate the MP3 file and save it to your device[2][4].

Users should be aware that the only fully legal route to download most commercial songs from YouTube Music is via paid subscription. Third-party tools, while effective, are a legal gray area for copyrighted music. For legal, free usage, YouTube’s own Audio Library provides a selection of royalty-free tracks to download and use without restrictions[6].
