Here you can not only find all movies you want but also all MTVs you  like. Consequently, download those videos from YouTube becomes a strong desire  for every YouTube fan.<\/p>\n<p>Previously, we have introduced the way to <a href=\"http:\/\/flash-video-mx.com\/blog\/download-youtube-videos-with-web-browser\/\" alt=\"download  YouTube videos with web browsers\" title=\"download  YouTube videos with web browsers\">download  YouTube videos with web browsers<\/a>. However, those methods can only help you  get movies or MTVs in FLV format. For those who just want the songs in the MTVs,  they need to convert YouTube videos to MP3 files. Therefore, this post will  show you three free methods to download YouTube videos in MP3 format. <\/p>\n<p>I. <strong>Ultimate YouTube Downloader<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ultimate  YouTube Downloader<\/strong> is a powerful plug in for Chrome  with which you can <strong>download <\/strong>YouTube  videos in MP3 format. Follow those steps.<\/p>\n<p>1. Download and launch <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.chromeextensions.org\/utilities\/ultimate-youtube-downloader\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Ultimate  YouTube Downloader<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>2. Click &#8220;<strong>Customize and control Google Chrome<\/strong>&#8221; button which lies next to the  address bar, click &#8220;<strong>Tool<\/strong>&#8221; and choose  &#8220;<strong>Extensions<\/strong>&#8220;. Make sure &#8220;<strong>Enable<\/strong>&#8221; is checked.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/flash-video-mx.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/enable-the-plug-in.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/flash-video-mx.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/enable-the-plug-in.png\" alt=\"enable the plug in\" title=\"enable the plug in\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1731\" srcset=\"https:\/\/flash-video-mx.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/enable-the-plug-in.png 600w, https:\/\/flash-video-mx.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/enable-the-plug-in-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>3. Open YouTube and find a MTV you  want. Then you will find there is a &#8220;<strong>Download<\/strong>&#8221;  button next to &#8220;<strong>Share<\/strong>&#8221; button. Then  choose &#8220;<strong>MP3 Converter<\/strong>&#8221; in the  drop-down menu.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/flash-video-mx.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/MP3-Converter.png\" alt=\"MP3 Converter\" title=\"MP3 Converter\" width=\"600\" height=\"562\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1733\" srcset=\"https:\/\/flash-video-mx.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/MP3-Converter.png 600w, https:\/\/flash-video-mx.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/MP3-Converter-300x281.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>4. After that, you will get to a  new interface, click &#8220;<strong>Download<\/strong>&#8221;  option in the face and then you will get the YouTube video in MP3 format.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/flash-video-mx.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/download-mp3.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/flash-video-mx.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/download-mp3.png\" alt=\"download mp3\" title=\"download mp3\" width=\"565\" height=\"380\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1730\" srcset=\"https:\/\/flash-video-mx.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/download-mp3.png 565w, https:\/\/flash-video-mx.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/download-mp3-300x201.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 565px) 100vw, 565px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>However, simple and powerful as the plug in  is, it fails to convert YouTube videos that are longer than 20 minutes. So if  you want to get all songs from a video of Madonna&#8217;s concert, you need to figure  out other ways. Also, it can only be used for Chrome.<\/p>\n<p>II. <strong>Convert YouTube videos to MP3 files<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A feasible way for you to download YouTube  videos in MP3 format is to download and convert them to MP3 files. With this  method, you can not only overcome the defects of the first method, but also do  it for free. <\/p>\n<p>1. Download YouTube videos with  web browsers. <\/p>\n<p>2. Download and launch <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flash-video-mx.com\/video4web-converter\/\" alt=\"Moyea Video4Web Converter\" title=\"Moyea Video4Web Converter\">Moyea Video4Web Converter<\/a><\/strong>.  Then click &#8220;<strong>File<\/strong>&#8221; and choose &#8220;<strong>Add Video Files<\/strong>&#8221; in the drop-down to  input a video.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/flash-video-mx.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/add-video.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/flash-video-mx.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/add-video.png\" alt=\"add video\" title=\"add video\" width=\"600\" height=\"396\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1728\" srcset=\"https:\/\/flash-video-mx.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/add-video.png 600w, https:\/\/flash-video-mx.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/add-video-300x198.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>3. Set the output file as MP3 file  in the drop-down menu of &#8220;<strong>Profile<\/strong>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/flash-video-mx.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/set-output-video.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/flash-video-mx.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/set-output-video.png\" alt=\"set output video\" title=\"set output video\" width=\"600\" height=\"396\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1727\" srcset=\"https:\/\/flash-video-mx.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/set-output-video.png 600w, https:\/\/flash-video-mx.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/set-output-video-300x198.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>4. Then click convert button. When  the conversion completes, the YouTube video is converted to a MP3 file.<\/p>\n<p>III. <strong>Convert SWF files to MP3 files<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Since Adobe Flash Player is required for  playing YouTube videos, you can actually download those YouTube videos as SWF  files.
