Is it possible to copy music from YouTube to a file on my computer?

Thanks, I need to copy a few music files from YouTube to my computer [it is for explaining chord changes for another player], the file(s) to be in MP3 format.  Is this possible?  I use Freemake Audio Converter to rip MP3 files from my FLAC files on the hard disk and hope to do something similar from YouTube music videos.

    Google “YouTube to mp3” there’s loads of sites that will do it. I tend to use whichever one work firewall’s not blocking this week.

    If you have Mac, You Tube Downloader is an excellent app. In its latest version it even auto imports to Music or TV app as appropriate.

    MediaHuman is excellent for that.

    I would be careful doing this. Many of those sites look legit but are baits for scam sites. I know cos I had this problem last week when looking to grab a Ted lecture and and had to use task-manager to kill my browser sessions and then clear my browser data to prevent a site automatically reloading when Firefox launched.
    This seems to be a fairly recent problem.

    Download Audacity .... set source to WASAPI    ...... hit record and play youtube video. Audacity will then record the digital audio stream and you can export it as wav, MP3 etc 

    Those Youtube to mp3 sites are minging ...... your PC will need a Tetanus shot after visiting one of them :)

    Becareful of browser plugins adding other shit you don't want running

    Depending on how comfortable you are with the command-line, youtube-dl will do the job for you, eg:
    youtube-dl --extract-audio --audio-format mp3 <URL>
