Choose the tracks, not the whole list

Most playlist converters take everything or nothing. Here every video starts ticked, and you can deselect all, tick tracks one by one, hold Shift to select a range, or filter by title. Only the ticked videos are converted, which saves time and storage for long mixes and albums.

One file per song, named after the video

Each video becomes a separate MP3 or M4A file named after its title, so tracks sort properly in a music library and you can delete the ones you do not like. Up to 50 videos are converted per batch; long playlists can be done in several batches, and videos you already added are marked in the list.

Bitrate for music, lectures and podcasts

192 kbps MP3 is the sweet spot for most music, 128 kbps is plenty for speech, and 320 kbps is only offered when the source has enough detail. M4A gives the same quality in a smaller file and is the natural choice for iPhone and iTunes.

What is skipped and why

Private, deleted, members-only and region-blocked videos inside a playlist cannot be converted. They are marked as failed while the rest of the batch carries on, so one unavailable track never stops the others.

Only download content you own, that is licensed for download or that is in the public domain. See our Terms of Service.

Convert the first 50, then tick the next videos in the list; videos already added are marked.
The link only converts one song

Characters that are not allowed in file names are replaced automatically.

Tips for converting playlists to MP3
