YouTube is a rich resource for videos, especially music videos. If you want to download them to extract the music files, you will need an MP3 converter or YouTube downloader. You can save the music file to a USB drive or to your computer. If you have a YouTube video that you would like to transfer to a USB device, you will need to capture and convert the video on your computer first. You can then use a USB cable to transfer the captured video file to your device.
Step 1
Log into YouTube and find the video whose audio you want to isolate. Copy the URL of the video and, in a new browser, visit a website like y2mate.com or savefrom.net. Paste the video url in the Paste link here field, make sure the field just below indicates .mp3, these sites work exactly the same way, and they all allow you to capture YouTube videos, then hit Start
Step 2
Click the option to download videos from a website.
Step 3
Click the download button. After a few moments, a link should appear. Click on that link to download your YouTube video.
Step 4
Connect your USB device to your computer. Click the “open” option once it appears automatically on your computer screen. Open your default download folder. Click and drag your YouTube file from your computer to the folder on your USB device.
It should be relatively easy to transfer music stored on your computer to a USB flash drive. As long as you know where your music is stored on your computer, then it should be a simple case of copying and pasting the music files to the USB drive once you’ve plugged it in.
If you are using a computer with Windows operating system, you can do the following:
Plug the USB flash drive into one of the empty USB ports on your computer.
Open Windows Explorer. The USB drive should appear in ‘My Computer’ as drive E. It may be named ‘Removable Drive’ or you may have already given it a different name.
The USB drive should appear in ‘My Computer’ as drive E.
Open another Windows Explorer window and locate where you store all the music files on your computer that you want to transfer
Right click on the music / video files you want and select ‘Copy’
Go back to the window containing the USB drive and select ‘Paste’
Repeat these steps until all the music you want to transfer has been placed in the folder on the USB flash drive.
Once you’ve done this and want to remove the USB drive from your computer, make sure to select the ‘Safely Remove Hardware’ or ‘Eject’ option to ensure that the data on the drive is not corrupted or lost.
