How to Put Music on an MP3 Player From YouTube
By Kirk Bennet
YouTube is a video sharing platform where users can upload their own creations. You can find thousands of copyright-free audio tracks that were uploaded by artists who want to share their work with everyone. Although converting the music videos to MP3 files and downloading them on your MP3 player is considered fair use, you should avoid copyrighted audio tracks at all costs. You can make copies for your own non-commercial, personal use, but you are not allowed to distribute the audio files or sell them.
