How do you save a song from YouTube to your phone?

Answered by Jeremy Urbaniak

Saving a song from YouTube to your phone can be done using various methods and tools. One popular option is using a YouTube music downloader app or website to convert and download the song as an audio file. However, it’s important to note that downloading copyrighted content without permission is illegal in many countries, so make sure you only download songs that are available for free or under a Creative Commons license.

Here, I will guide you on how to manually download songs from YouTube Music on an Android device without using any third-party apps or websites. Please note that this method only allows you to download songs that you have already purchased or added to your library on YouTube Music.

1. Open the YouTube Music app on your Android device. If you don’t have the app, you can download it from the Google Play Store.

2. Sign in to your YouTube Music account using your Google credentials.

3. Search for the song you want to download. You can use the search bar at the top of the app to enter the song title, artist name, or any keywords related to the song.

4. Once you find the desired song, tap on it to open the song details page.

5. On the song details page, you will see three dots (menu icon) at the top right corner. Tap on it to open the options menu.

6. From the options menu, select the “Download” option. This will initiate the download process for the selected song.

7. The app will start downloading the song, and you can monitor the progress in the notifications panel of your device.

8. Once the download is complete, you can access the downloaded song by going to the “Library” tab in the YouTube Music app. From there, you can play the song offline without the need for an internet connection.

It’s worth mentioning that downloaded songs from YouTube Music are stored within the app and cannot be accessed or transferred to other music player apps on your device. Additionally, downloaded songs are subject to certain restrictions, such as expiration after a specific period of time or limitations on the number of devices you can download to.

Manually downloading songs from YouTube Music on an Android device is relatively straightforward. By following the steps outlined above, you can save your favorite songs from YouTube Music and enjoy them offline on your phone.
