Best YouTube Music Downloader in 2025?

[scottmartin]

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for recommendations for a reliable YouTube music downloader. I mainly want to download high-quality audio tracks from YouTube for offline listening. Key things I’m looking for are fast downloads, good audio quality, and safety (no malware or annoying ads).

Bonus if it supports playlists or multiple downloads at once. I’ve tried a few apps, but some either had poor audio quality or required sketchy workarounds.

Has anyone found a trustworthy tool recently that works well on both desktop and mobile?

Any suggestions or experiences would be greatly appreciated!

We used to get lots of posts like this but as people here tend to be striving to maximise quality, YouTube is rarely where we would source music from. If you want to do it then for me I tend to use OBS and hit record. Then I’ll just take just the audio. The kids have dozens of apps for this but with streaming services having the better quality, I rarely do it from YouTube as the adverts ruin it! You’ve probably got screen capture with audio so they all need a level of fiddling. Or do you have some better software you use?
