aTube Catcher is one of the longest-running programs to download music from YouTube and convert MP4 files to MP3. Unfortunately, the Windows, Mac, and Linux applications have degenerated. Currently, the program has many advertisements that greatly tarnish its user experience. The good thing is that there are many alternatives to aTube Catcher in 2019 capable of downloading videos, music, and all types of files from YouTube. A few days ago, we showed you nine alternative applications to uTorrent to download Torrents on Android and nine other alternatives to The Pirate Bay to download Torrent. Today, we bring you five alternatives to aTube to download MP3 and MP4 from YouTube.
FREE STUDIO
It is one of the simplest programs to download music on Windows and Mac for free from YouTube. Its operation is very simple; we will only have to paste the URL in question of the video, and then we will choose some options to download the file.
Like aTube Catcher, it also can convert local files from MP4 to Mp3 and even has a small editor to trim the selected video or song. Another function it integrates is a native screen recorder to capture the image and sound of our computer.
One of the best-known programs on the Internet to download videos from YouTube and other video sources. We can also download the audio of the video in question, although generally, the format will be M4A instead of MP3.
Functionally, it is somewhat more complex than the rest of the alternatives to aTube Catcher since we will have to start the downloads manually. The good thing is that, unlike other programs, this downloads the videos and audio at maximum quality and simultaneously. Available for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Java-based systems.
It doesn’t have many options, but its operation is simple if we want a program to download music from YouTube. Like JDownloader, it has the option to download videos directly from YouTube. Fortunately, we can download a multitude of songs at the same time.
Among its most notable options, we find the possibility of downloading the cover of the song in question and the option to convert songs to MP3 directly. It integrates a search engine with which we can download the tracks directly without accessing the YouTube page.
If we prefer to use online programs to download videos and MP3s from YouTube, we can always use Keepvid. The tool in question allows us to perform the same functions as the previous ones. The main advantage of these is that it allows you to download videos from practically any website. Twitter, YouTube, Facebook… We can also choose the MP3 and MP4 file quality to download (Full HD, 360 kbps, etc.).
Its biggest disadvantage is that it does not allow downloading files simultaneously, but at least we can download them without any weight or size limit. Of course, we will have to be careful when dealing with advertising.
The name of the tool itself indicates it. Like Keepvid, we can download any YouTube video in different formats and even MP3. The best thing about this is that it allows you to directly download YouTube videos by changing the video address to that of the online program. For example, if the video URL is www.youtube.com/lvtNqzOBBeE, we can download it directly by writing www.bajaryoutube.com/lvtNqzOBBeE.
We can choose the download quality and format, although it will be limited to HD in MP4 and 128 kbps in MP3.
