Free online MP3 converters are great tools that offer a functionality with no overhead of installation. However, they are limited by problems that are out of their scope. MP3 conversion from online websites takes twice the time that an offline tool will take to do the MP3 conversion. This is because online tools have to first download the video files themselves on their servers and then offer after converting it offer you the download. On offline tools the there is only 1 time download.

However, there is no an online tool that I have seen yet which can download a complete playlist of songs. And not to mention, networks can always play a spoilsport if you are doing the conversion of multiple files using a free online MP3 converter. You can lose connectivity in between and you will have to start right from scratch in such a case.

A good solution to these problems is to use a desktop based software like DVDFab YouTube to MP3 converter.  The application is capable of downloading whole playlists by just using the YouTube playlist URL. It uses multithreading to download multiple songs in parallel and along with its VIP speed download, it utilizes the maximum potential of your network bandwidth.

It means once your MP3 file is downloaded, you can copy and play it anywhere, be it your desktop or a portable device. Let’s see how to use DVDFab YouTube to MP3 converter.

Step 3. A new independent window will open of YouTube to MP3 application. It will ask you to use the “+Paste URL” button to start the download. But before you can do anything, you need to get the URL of the YouTube video you want to download as MP3 or the playlist URL from which you want to download all songs. Open Youtube in your browser and copy the URL of the page from which you want to download the audio in MP3 format.

Step 4. Once you have copied the URL and the URL is available on the clipboard, click on the “+Paste URL” button appearing on the window. If you are downloading a single file the download will start immediately but if you are downloading a playlist, the tool might take some time to evaluate the number of songs in the playlist and will show you all the songs it is going to download before starting the download. You can choose if you don’t want to download some songs from the playlist and remove the checkbox from them and click on the Download button after that.
