Play and download audio If you like what you hear, hover over the date and click DOWNLOAD to get an MP3 file. The track will continue to play as you browse the Audio Library. Using the controls on the audio player, you can pause, seek, and play the previous or next track.

More accurately, YouTube Audio Library gives you a free license to use its music, so long as you follow its rules. If you break the rules, you're in breach of the license. If you violate the license, you're technically using the music without the copyright owner's permission, which can get you in big trouble.

Websites like Y2Mate, ytmp3, OnlyMP3, and SaveFrom.net make it quick and easy to download audio from YouTube clips. To use them, simply copy and paste the URL of the desired YouTube video into the site's search bar. Next, select MP3 as the download format, which extracts just the audio track.
