This article discusses audio only YouTube extensions for Chrome, TunesKit, and UListen, which all allow you to listen to audio only. You may even be interested in recording audio from YouTube to use later. Listed below are the three most popular methods for listening to YouTube audio.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"TunesKit_allows_you_to_listen_to_YouTube_audio\"><\/span>TunesKit allows you to listen to YouTube audio<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve ever wanted to listen to YouTube audio only but don&#8217;t have the hardware or the right software, you can record audio directly from the site using TunesKit. You can record the audio from YouTube Music, rip it to MP3, WAV, AAC, FLAC, or M4A files, and combine multiple recordings into a single. The best part? The audio is saved with ID3 tags. With TunesKit, you can also listen to audio from other sites.<\/p>\n<p>Another way to listen to YouTube music is through the YouTube Audio Library. This collection of music is free to download, as long as you don&#8217;t distribute the songs or use them for your own YouTube content creation. The app allows you to download the songs directly to your phone, and there are apps for multiple mobile operating systems. The audio library is also available on the iTunes store, and TunesKit allows you to download the songs to multiple devices.<\/p>\n<p>Another option is to use a DRM media converter. While many creators focus on the video aspect, they don&#8217;t take the time to fine-tune the audio part. TunesKit Audio Capture can handle this need and let you customize the settings. It&#8217;s also compatible with Windows 10 and Mac OS X El Capitan. However, this method may not be legal in some jurisdictions.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Audio_Only_YouTube_is_an_extension_for_Google_Chrome\"><\/span>Audio Only YouTube is an extension for Google Chrome<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Audio Only YouTube is an extension for Google Chrome that allows you to load only audio-only YouTube videos. Its toolbar button serves as an ON\/OFF switch, and is either red or lite grey depending on the state. When active, the add-on prevents the YouTube website from loading video content, which is far more large than audio. Listening to YouTube videos without the video content load is easier and more convenient than watching videos with the video content.<\/p>\n<p>This extension works in both Chrome and Microsoft Edge. It is a free browser extension available for download from Google Chrome&#8217;s web store. If you&#8217;re using a free Internet plan, you might not want to download videos. Not only do they take up a lot of bandwidth &#8211; HD videos use four times more bandwidth than a video file &#8211; but they tax your computer&#8217;s resources. You can also use Audio Only YouTube while multi-tasking, as you can disable the extension when watching a video.<\/p>\n<p>Besides being free, Audio Only YouTube is a free, open-source extension. It works well with any YouTube video, and only shows the video thumbnail. If you want to view the video thumbnail, you must disable images in Chrome. This extension is free, but it&#8217;s worth a try. With a few clicks, you can listen to YouTube videos without watching them. So, what are you waiting for? Start listening to audio content today!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"UListen_allows_you_to_record_YouTube_audio\"><\/span>UListen allows you to record YouTube audio<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Recording YouTube audio is a common task for most people. The best way to do it is with an audio recording app. UListen is a great tool that lets you record YouTube audio from videos, audio files, or the internet. This application also allows you to import other audio files such as your voice or music. Using this application will enable you to record your favorite videos or audio tracks and then save them to your computer as MP3 files.<\/p>\n<p>This online video recording software is free and very easy to use. Unlike some of the other solutions, this tool also records the sound in a high-quality, original format. All you have to do is open the YouTube video that you want to record and click the record button. The recording will start immediately. If the video is a YouTube music video, it will download the audio. You can also export the audio to other formats, such as MP3.<\/p>\n<p>UListen also allows you to download the YouTube music video to your computer. It is easy to download, install, and use. It also includes a video and audio player. UListen also comes with a built-in audio recorder and editor. It has multiple settings to let you record YouTube audio. The software is free, so you can try it out and see whether it works for you. If you find UListen useful, be sure to check out its reviews!<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FSLDPBVOl-Y\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"354\" height=\"198\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do I Listen to YouTube Audio Only?
