Recent years, video sharing sites such as YouTube become more and more popular on the Internet, and more and more people choose such kind of sites as the way of watching movies, lives and dramas. Nowadays, instead of other downloading methods, that download videos from YouTube becomes the netizens’ first choice, for YouTube owns abundant video resources and information, moreover, downloading videos from YouTube is much easy and convenient.

Once you get the YouTube videos downloaded, not only can you watch the local videos freely without net connection, but you can also deal with the videos by other means, for example, video editing, video uploading, or even video extracting.

It is common to edit or upload local videos, but why do people need to extract video? At present, the most extracted elements from video are audio files (in MP3 format as usual), and the users who usually convert video to MP3 are mainly the following ones that:

1. Need to get the audio element from some movie for video editing;
2. Want to extract the audio from some foreign language education video for listening practice;
3. Want to put the audio from some live concert into MP3 player;
4. Need to procure the audio only from some live speech for radio broadcasting;

……

In that case, how to convert YouTube video into MP3 format? Actually it is not difficult at all. Sothink Video Converter is also a free YouTube converter that is capable of converting YouTube video to other video and audio formats.

Before the conversion, please download and install Sothink Video Converter into your computer. Of course, you need to have the YouTube video downloaded into your computer as well.

In fact, Sothink Video Converter supports lots of formats including YouTube video, AVI, MP4, WMV, MPEG, .etc, but here I made a simple tutorial with one AVI video in my local machine. No matter what kind of source video format is, the operation steps are actually the same.

Step 1: Open the video converter, click “Add Files”, and add the very video file into the program. 

Step 2: Go to the left panel, choose “Generic Audio” > “MP3 Audio” in “Encoding Profile”.

Step 3: Next, please start the conversion by clicking “Convert” button.

Step 4: And then you can see the converting status and the estimated converting time in the bar.

Step 5: Finally, you will get the converted audio in MP3 format as you like.

See? Is it easy? You needn’t be professional in video editing, and you needn’t spend money to do the job, either. What you need is just know how to use mouse and install program! That’s all!
