Best 2 Methods to Extract Audio from YouTube Video

YouTube is the largest video and music-sharing platform in the world, providing free access to online video and music streaming, as well as other services. The majority of content on YouTube is uploaded by individuals, with approximately 100 hours of video being uploaded every minute. With billions of hours of video available to watch, it's not uncommon for some of the clips that catch your attention to be too long to enjoy in video form.
