That song you adore is on YouTube, but you always have to unlock the site to play it. Wouldn’t it be amazing if you could just download it? Well, you really can. In the next few lines, you’ll see how easy it is to download songs from YouTube utilizing tools like EaseUS Video Downloader.
Keep in mind that the instructions below are clear to YouTube. However, EaseUS Video Downloader also lets you download videos from media like Facebook, among others.
How to Download Music Utilizing YouTube Itself (Without Other Apps)
There are two methods to download videos and songs straight from YouTube without requiring any extra tools: by subscribing to YouTube Premium or YouTube Music Premium.
YouTube Premium concentrates on videos, while YouTube Music Premium presents only audio streaming, as the name implies.
When you subscribe to YouTube Premium, you get several advantages, such as monitoring videos without ads and playing content in the background.
The most promising part is that a YouTube Premium subscription also grants you access to YouTube Music Premium. Through the YouTube Music app, available on Android and iOS, you can download music to your device as follows:
- Open the song you’re curious about
- On the song’s screen, go to the leading menu (three-dot icon)
- Select the “Download” option or its equivalent
Now the song can be played even when you don’t have internet access. Keep in mind that this opportunity only works within the YouTube Music app.
Also note that YouTube Premium is a paid service, commanding R$26.90 per month for the Individual plan in Brazil. YouTube Music Premium can also be subscribed to individually, at R$21.90 per month.

In the YouTube app for Android or iOS, tap “Share” and then “Copy Link” to get the song’s URL. You can also do this from a browser.
In a browser like Chrome or Safari, search for “Y2mate” and open the service’s link.

Conclusion
There’s no shortage of ways to grab music from YouTube, but not every option is equally reliable or legal. The most straightforward route is still using YouTube Premium or YouTube Music Premium, since they’re official and hassle-free—though you’ll need to pay for the subscription.
Free websites that let you download tracks might seem convenient, but they often crash, go offline, or slow down when too many people use them. If you want something more stable, tools like EaseUS Video Downloader are a solid pick. They’re easy to use, support multiple platforms beyond YouTube, and let you control the audio quality you’re downloading.
That said, it’s worth noting that using third-party tools to download copyrighted content can violate YouTube’s terms of service. Always be sure you have the creator’s permission before downloading anything—better to stay safe and respect the rules than risk your account or legal trouble later on.
