Part 1. Can I Put YouTube Music on My MP3 PlayerDirectly?

Before sharing how to download music from YouTube to MP3 player, we need to know if can we transfer music from YouTube Music to MP3 player because there are some limitations on YouTube Music files.

Although most portable music players are called MP3 players, in fact, they are not only compatible with MP3 audio format but can also support WMA, AAC, WAV, FLAC, etc., as long as they are not protected by digital rights management (DRM). So, if you want to get YouTube Music downloads to MP3 player, you have to remove DRM from YouTube Music first because YouTube uses DRM technology to limit the devices that can be used to play downloaded audio and video files. If you purchase or download songs from YouTube Music, you will only play them on authorized devices and its platform, even though you have downloaded them with YouTube Music Premium.

On the other hand, YouTube Music uses AAC and Opus audio encoding, which can be read easily by the YouTube Music application itself. But it is difficult to open on MP3 players. Hence, we need to solve DRM and format problems first if we want to play music on MP3 player.

However, compared to desktop YouTube Music Converter, the online tool has some flaws. For instance, X2Downloa's format compatibility is limited, you can't find other audio formats on it. Also, it can't support batch downloads. What's more, X2Download can't retain the ID3 tags including album cover, track title, artist name, etc, so it will be difficult to manage and organize your music collection.
