It is not iTunes or Spotify that is the world's most popular music channel, it is actually YouTube. 300 hours of videos are uploaded on YouTube every minute! A lot of those hours is music videos. What I like about YouTube, it can create a mix of songs like the one you are listening to and matches your taste. And as much as it is convenient to listen to YouTube music on Mac, it is not that convenient on a portable device like iPad or iPod. However there is a solution that can make it convenient - a good YouTube music downloader for Mac that will be able to not just download the video but extract an MP3 file from it. Read on and find the best music YouTube downloader Mac
app for you.
