Users can upload and watch a variety of music videos on YouTube. In the process, you may come across a YouTube music video that you want to put on a portable music player. To do this, you will first need to change the format of the video to MP3. Turning the audio found on YouTube videos into MP3 files is a quick process and one that can be done by using two different methods.
