    Why MP3?  That's audio.
    Sure you don't mean MP4 which is video and audio? ;)

    Lots of sites let you rip the audio from Youtube.

    A quick search will find them.
    Things that are differerent: draw & drawer, brought & bought, loose & lose, dose & does, payed & paid

    Thanks for your responses.
    I want to convert YouTube video and save as MP3, i.e. music only.
    I know their are many, was looking for heads up from those who know which are best.

    I use 4K Video Downloader on my Mac. Not sure if it has a Windows version.
    Retired at age 56 after having "light bulb moment" due to reading MSE and its forums. Have been converted to the "budget to zero" concept and use YNAB for all monthly budgeting and long term goals.

    I use 4k Video Downloader on both Windows and Linux. It's excellent. Don't be mislead by the name - it will do what you want.

    I use Audacity to trim audio recordings..

    Link.
    A man walked into a car showroom.
    He said to the salesman, “My wife would like to talk to you about the Volkswagen Golf in the showroom window.”
    Salesman said, “We haven't got a Volkswagen Golf in the showroom window.”
    The man replied, “You have now mate".

    +1 for Audacity.

    f you want to trim videos, LosslessCut.
    I want to go back to The Olden Days, when every single thing that I can think of was better.....
