YouTube is home to many live versions of songs that you won’t be getting anywhere else so easily for free. If you ever wanted to extract audio from such videos of songs and download those in MP3 format on your pc to hear later or burn them on a CD, here is a nifty utility that will be of great help. Named as YouTubeTracks, it is a web based utility that allows you to enter URL of a YouTube clip and then lets you download only audio from a video in MP3 format.

Working with this utility is no trick. A simple four steps is all it takes for you to begin downloading MP3 audio from a YouTube clip. Here is how you should proceed:

1. Visit the YouTubeTracks website and enter the URL of the video whose audio you would like to download as MP3.

2. Select the quality of your MP3 – HQ (high quality) or LQ (low quality). Default is HQ.

3. Click on the red ‘Download MP3′ button.

4. The audio download will thence start.

That’s it. Now save the MP3 audio in your local hard disk from the confirmation dialog box.
