Most anyone these days uses YouTube, Dailymotion, Vimeo and other video sharing sites. Over the years, these services have accumulated millions of videos, such as music videos, movies, documentaries, cartoons and a lot of other things you may want to watch. Unfortunately, everything these sites have can be enjoyed only online, which is not very convenient as you spend the bandwidth, have to wait until a video is loaded and most importantly you cannot take videos with you on the move on portable devices like cell phones, iPod, PDA. Fortunately, there are special YouTube to MP3 converters that can help to download videos for offline enjoyment. One of them is RealPlayer.

RealPlayer lets people download YouTube video and has a convenient YouTube to MP3 converter. The player integrates into the browser and shows the "Download This Video" button when you move the mouse over the video. The program supports all browsers, so whether you a Chrome or Firefox user, don't hesitate, it's for you.

How to convert YouTube video to MP3:

Now let's imagine, for example, you want to download "Dog singing jingle bells" video and convert it to MP3.

Let's get started!

Download and install RealPlayer. The easiest way to install is to use default settings and click OK. It's fine. Once the software is installed, you can download and convert the clip to MP3.

Go to YouTube.com and find the video you want. When you hover the mouse over the clip, you'll see the "Download This Video" button pop up on top of the content window. Click this button to start the download.

Clicking the button opens the downloader dialog. Here you can see the download progress on the bar.

When the download is over, move the mouse pointer over the bar and you'll see additional buttons appear. One of them is "Convert All". Click this button to open the built-in RealPlayer Converter.

Using the drop-down "Convert to" menu, select the designed output format (in our example it's MP3), and then choose the output folder to save the result file. Click Start and sit back and watch. Or go to the kitchen to make yourself a cup of coffee. And when you are back, the MP3 audio track will already be waiting for you.

Now you can upload this music file to your cell phone or MP3 player and enjoy the music on the go. There is also an ability to save the file to DVD. That's, of course, if you have RealPlayer Premium, which requires registration.

As you can see, using RealPlayer as a YouTube to MP3 converter is incredibly easy and does not require any advanced knowledge or experience. Now you can try the program yourself. Good luck!
