Frequently asked questions
MP3 or M4A: which should I pick?
MP3 plays everywhere. M4A (AAC) usually sounds better at the same size and works on Apple devices, Android and most modern players.
Which bitrate is best?
192 kbps is a good balance. Choose 320 kbps for the highest MP3 quality or 128 kbps for the smallest file. The source audio sets the upper limit on quality.
Why can't I download some videos?
Private, members-only, age-restricted and live videos can't be downloaded, and very long videos are refused to keep the service fast for everyone.
Is it OK to save music from YouTube?
Only save audio you own, that is licensed for reuse, or that you have permission to keep. Music is usually copyrighted, so check the rights before you download or share it.
Do you store the audio?
No. The file exists only while your request runs and is deleted right after the download.
