CNET Editors' review
The minor quibbles we have with Free YouTube to MP3 Converter have nothing to do with its functionality. This effective freeware is ready to go right out of the box, but can be easily customized by the user.
No effort has been made to dress up the program's utilitarian interface, which consists of seven large buttons, a few fields, and a drop-down menu. A plain text box advises users to paste URLs in the field, and this is all the onscreen guidance you'll need. Once you see the video title in the field, you click Download and the program goes to work. The process wasn't lightening quick, but considering the size of some of our test files, it wasn't bad. Converted files played without a hitch.
The beauty of this converter lies in its simple set up. By default, converted files are saved into the program's folder in My Documents, and they retain the name of the source video. The files are saved as MP3s, normal quality. These settings are easily changed, though, with quick-access buttons and a drop-down menu. The most work a user might have to do is fill out the fields in the optional Tags fields for artist, title, track, and other information.
Sadly, the program doesn't integrate with your browser, but you can opt to have it automatically pick up URLs from the clipboard, which eliminates one step from the cutting and pasting process. It also installs the Ask.com Toolbar and resets your home page to the Ask.com Web site by default, so if you don't want these extras, you'll have to uncheck some boxes during the installation process. These inconveniences are offset by the fact that this program is not only effective, it also costs nothing to use. We highly recommend Free YouTube to MP3 Converter for any user.

"Works well, good sound, interface+lack of help = bad."
Version: Free YouTube to MP3 Converter 3.2.3.67
Pros
Free! Works well once you work out how! I like classical music - sound quality fine.
Cons
Interface not obvious, and lack of "Help" doesn't help. If u are new to YouTube it is not too clear what to put in the big box for required URL/s. The item Options | "Check for updates" has a bug - freezes machine!! Remember: UN-TICK "Install ASK".
Summary
Mostly see Pros & Cons above. Definitely will keep & use.
Have a gripe with CNET Tech Tracker re this prog - it insists on telling me I've got an obsolete version, even after un-install / re-install - why?? -

"Superb Audio Conversion Tool"
Version: Free YouTube to MP3 Converter 3.2.3.67
Pros
Delivers exceedingly well on its promise to convert You Tube tunes into mp3 format
Cons
The set-up, interface is a clumsy arrangement, downloading takes some patience Then you've got to deal with what i believe is the web's worst scourge;forcing Ask.com on us all, a heavy price to pay in lost time, inconvenience uninstalling it asap
Summary
I've scoured the web for a hi-quality freeware converter and they're few and far between Despite what I have found to be overbearing drawbacks, it does a superb job providing the best sounding mp3 files.
