Scan & Fix 50 registry issues FREECNET 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.

"Perfect app"

1. It does what it says.
2. No Malware or ads
3. Can convert youtube video till 256 Kbos audio rateCons
Nothing I can find
Summary
This is one of the finest free applications I've ever come across which does what it says. No pop ups, no nasty "buy premium" version popups, no adware, no malware (In version 3.2.3.68) . It takes up 16.5 active memory when executed in WinXP SP3 OS. It also shows up the message to download video if it finds a video in the youtube url. Very sleek, simple and cool. CNET's rating reflects the quality standards for this app. Best wishes to developer and I hope this application improves further in its future updates.
