I'm looking for recommendations of the best conversion sites to rip music from youtube to convert to mp3.

Haven't done it before, so not sure what to do

I don't think it's legal however you do it but it's probably less frowned upon if it's just for personal use and you don't do it a lot. You can download free software that converts video or audio from sites like YouTube assuming YouTube haven't tightened things up since I last did it. I Haven't done it for a long time so not sure what is best.
Have you considered a kodi build for accessing music you like as well as tv of course. Again not particularly legal.

Try: https://youtubedownloader.com

It's no more legal than much of YouTube itself...

I used a firefox add on to download and convert them to mp3, I remember it was easy to do but thats all I can remember.

http://jdownloader.org/jdownloader2 works well for this.

I used to use this, but now it no longer seems to work.

You need to download the latest version, it worked for me last week.

Does any video converter also convert audio? Not sure as it's been a while since I logged onto my computer to check. It is good for video converting that's for sure and even if it doesn't convert audio I am sure they have various other free applications and one of them surely must convert audio.

I use a firefox addon that puts a "download mp3" button on the youtube page its-self.

Couldn't be easier

Its called "Simple YouTube MP3 Button"

You can also do it direct from their homepage https://www.youtubeinmp3.com/

why bother with websites!
get this :
https://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/download.html

it's a command line program but easy to use:

c:/youtube-dl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmV5MW_XAtg

Their are other options, like only pulling down audio only or video only.
