Youtube mp3 converters have been my kinda obsession for the past couple of months, since i’ve seen that case unfold against youtube-mp3.org. Lots of new players have shown up since then, lots of random websites all of a sudden get tremendous traffic boosts from google, since many millions of people now are looking for new ways to convert youtube to mp3.
So here comes Youtube Mp3 – a site that is late to the spoils, but still wants to gobble up some traffic. This site is quite cool and is in part associated with savetube, so we do have a link to it on top right there in the sidebar.. Please, check it out!
YoutubeMp3.Today Review
These days there are very many sites that do youtube mp3 conversion. What is so amazing about this one that it warranted a review from us on such early stages of its existence? How does this site stand out in a myriad of other similar sites?
Cause when it boils down to the essence, using all these sites involves a subset of the following actions: copying video URL, inserting it, pressing a button, closing some ads and popups, and downloading your mp3.
1. YoutubeMp3.today is Very Fast
Well, for starters, this site is very small, it loads instantly, only uses 3-4 javascript libraries that are shoved as one thanks to pagespeed module. So this site is built for speed. It’s really fast on mobile and desktop alike.
2. YoutubeMP3.today utilizes APIs from other sites
Secondly, youtubeMP3.today doesn’t do mp3 processing or anything really with the audio.. That is left to an array of APIs presented by other sites and sources. What is an API? It is a set of tools that allow some website or robot do all the actions that you would do manually to achieve some solution to a task.
So in this case youtubeMP3.today acts as a middleman between you and that other site that actually does the youtube-mp3 conversion. Why is that needed? Because that other site is a prominent player on the youtube to mp3 scene, and doesn’t care about its users, so they stuff page with ads and popups and anywhere you click – malware wants to get in, some search bars, etc.
That is why youtubeMP3.today comes into play. Using the cool HTML5 iframe sandbox feature, youtube MP3 is able to suppress any popups that would otherwise show up and upset you with their unwillingness to leave the screen.. That is the power of HTML5.
So user experience basically ends up being selecting which button to press, and then press it. And download starts automatically on all of the offered options.
3. If one source is DMCA-blocked, others are not
This is another cool aspect of having multi-API sourced service. These days the more popular youtube-mp3 juices converter is, the more chances that it will have some URL blocked by some DMCA request. Each up and coming site has this “feature” when you can contact them and stop some certain video from being accessed by users coming to this site.
This is done to ward off minor offences, this allows copyright owners to shut off conversion or download access to their work on this site and many music labels use these ways to quickly get themselves into thinking their problems are resolved…
Not so fast… There are other sites that are much smaller and will process your video gladly… In the example step-by-step guide below you can see that one of the buttons doesn’t work, says “resource is blocked”, while 2 others are fine and ready to rumble.
Hence having multiple sites do work for your site is actually a good idea, this way your visitors can enjoy a number of sources and chose the one that speeds are fastest etc.

On extendability
Youtubemp3.today’s concept is quite cool, in my opinion. If ever one or some of these sites go out of business or get shut down for any other reasons, the only thing that youtube to mp3 today needs to do is find another API and insert it, and use it.. There will always be providers of API. some want those popups to annoy you, to make money if you accidentally click them.. Others want more traffic, want to get new visitors from the button you show.. In general, there will always be such sites, and even if not, any site can be force-fed into an API structured setting, so…
