Editors' Review
MP3 Rocket's Creative Commons filtering lets you download and convert legally available music from YouTube while screening out potentially copyrighted material. It can convert YouTube downloads into MP3s and similar formats that can play on nearly any device. While this freeware worked well, the Creative Commons filtering sometimes excluded non-copyrighted material because it hadn't been designated as such. A toolbar we tried but failed to decline spoiled the overall experience, too.
With MP3 Rocket, you can preview and download YouTube videos through an integrated browser. It allows you to find and download videos with a Creative Commons License, meaning you can use them legally. The program also converts these videos into various formats that are compatible with computers and mobile devices. For those who enjoy customization, you can create ringtones for your phone from videos and MP3 files without losing quality. The program supports several audio formats, including MP3, M4A, and AAC.
For entertainment, MP3 Rocket gives you access to unlimited free radio stations from all around the world. It also includes features for free live TV, online games, and chatting online. The layout of the program is user-friendly, and if you need help, support is available 24/7.
MP3 Rocket works well with various Windows operating systems, from XP through Windows 10. It supports a wide range of video formats like HD, MP4, and FLV. One of the standout features is its turbo-charged download service, which makes downloading much faster.
MP3 Rocket is popular for its simplicity. The interface is straightforward, making it easy for anyone, regardless of their tech skills, to use it effectively. Whether you are downloading your favorite TV show or converting a video into a ringtone, the process is simple. The 24/7 support ensures that you can get help whenever you need it, which makes using MP3 Rocket a hassle-free experience.
Pros
- Win-win: Musicians and record companies have posted a lot of really good music under Creative Commons licensing, and they'd be thrilled if you'd download it. It's marketing, and everybody wins.
- Misses are hits: Even when we didn't find certain artists or recordings, our searches of legally available downloads never failed to find something interesting.
- Ringtones: A new feature in MP3 Rocket converts any downloaded tune into a ringtone.
Cons
- Missed the mark: The optional Creative Commons filtering excluded useful results, such as tunes dubbed from non-digital sources like LPs and tapes. We failed to find any copyrighted material with the filtering turned off, though it's certainly out there.
- Unwanted toolbar: Despite a checkbox option, one of the "extra" downloads could not be declined. Such extras pay the bills, but software that installs other software in spite of your choice is a nonstarter for many users.
- Sound quality: Music downloaded from YouTube and converted to MP3s ranges in quality from good enough to not bad, but don't expect high fidelity.
Bottom Line
MP3 Rocket can find, download, and convert a lot of interesting free music from YouTube. You may not find what you were looking for, but at least it won't be copyrighted!
