youtube-dl
As an alternative to the solutions I have already suggested, to download music from YouTube on Mac you can consider resorting to the use of youtube-dl. It is free and allows you to download YouTube videos in various formats, as well as extract only the audio track, which is why I have chosen to tell you about it in this guide. The only thing to be aware of is that it does not have a graphical interface, so it must be used from the command line, which may seem difficult, but in reality it is not.
To download youtube-dl to your computer, you need Homebrew, a free and open source package manager that allows you to install various software using the terminal. So, first, open the latter by clicking on theLaunchpad icon (Quella with il space rocket) that you find on Dock barby selecting the folder Other and then clicking onTerminal icon (Quella with the nether finest in the riga di codice).
In the screen you see on your desktop at this point, to install Homebrew, type the string / usr / bin / ruby -e "$ (curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)" , then press the button Submit on your Mac keyboard and, when prompted, enter the Password computer administration. Next, install youtube-dl by entering the string brew install youtube-dl, always followed by pressing the key Submit.
Now, you need to worry about installing too FFMPEG, which is essential to be able to convert videos. To do this, enter the string brew install ffmpeg --with-fdk-aac --with-tools --with-freetype --with-libass --with-libvorbis --with-libvpx --with-x265 in the Terminal window and press the button again Submit on the keyboard.
Once this is done, you can finally take the real action. Therefore, first check in which formats you can download the video you are interested in, by copying the relevant link to the Mac clipboard, by typing the command youtube-dl -F [video URL] (instead of [video URL] you have to insert the 'URL of the movie just copied) in the Terminal window and pressing the key Submit on the keyboard.
After giving the above command, you will find the formats in which the video is available indicated in the table returned. Audio formats only are marked with a voice audio only, followed by the relative bitrate, corresponding to the column resolution.
Therefore, identify the format of your interest and take note of the value shown in the relevant column code format, then issue the command youtube-dl -f [format code] [video URL] (instead of [format code] you must enter the code of the chosen format, while instead of [video URL] you must enter the URL of the movie to be you want to extract the audio) in the Terminal window, always followed by pressing the key Submit on the keyboard to proceed with the download. You will then find the audio files obtained in the folder Start from the Mac.
If the predefined formats are not to your liking, you can convert them to a different format and set different values for the bitrate via FFMPEG you installed earlier. To do this, issue the command youtube-dl [video URL] --audio-format [audio format] --audio-quality [audio quality] -k (instead of [video URL] you have to paste the link of the movie of your interest , instead of [audio format] you have to type the audio format you prefer, while instead of [audio quality] you have to enter the bitrate) in the Terminal window, then press the key Submit on the keyboard. Please note that the supported audio formats are AAC, FLAC, MP3, M4A, OPUS, VORBIS and WAV, while the maximum bitrate is 320 kbps.
