iTunes won't accept YouTube to mp3 conversions anymore. Is there any way around this? Up until a week ago, this wasn't a problem.

Once on the website there's a tab at the top that let's you convert to mp3. (I've tried converting to both mp4 and mp3 and they both work with iTunes). So far, so good! Good luck!

- To old to figure this out?I've been trying for over a week to move my iTunes library of music into YouTube. YouTube is not recognizing my music format. I changed it to MP3, and still nothing. Its telling me it must be in MP4 format, but that is not an option offered by my ITunes pull down menu. Can someone offer a suggestion? Thx in advance from this old timer. 2165

Hi,
A number of people have posted about problems with mp3. Do the tracks play in QuickTime?
Double clicking, drag and drop to song view, add automatically to computer, selecting track and open with.. , and selecting menu > import all work for me.

It's easy to solve your problem. Just use a video transcoder to convert YouTube to the format supported by iTunes such as MP3, and then upload converted files to iTunes. You can try these YouTube to MP3 converters.

I just go to wherever it's downloaded (for me it's at the bottom of the page - I use Chrome) and drag it into the playlist. I don't know how to do it any other way so hopefully that will work for you. I guess you could go into Finder, look under Downloads, and drag it from there. Good luck!

In February 2022 nothing works anymore. Neither the converter to M4A. But it doesn't seem like a good idea to divulge music download solutions on Apple's own website. It is obvious that they will block everything.

Hello! The converter to M4A is not working anymore to iTunes. Do you suggest an alternative?
But remember that you must buy the songs on Apple's iTunes, not download them for free on the internet 🙂 So Apple will block all your presented solutions 🙂

Hello SamJaxc, it still doesn't work. It downloads to MP3, but then iTunes doesn't accept the file. When trying to convert to m4a, the following error appears:
Access to rr2---sn-i3belnll.googlevideo.com was refused

I have iTunes for Windows. I used to be able to add the converted mp3s and mp4s to iTunes. Now I cannot do it. I tried the converter you recommend and it won’t allow me to add to my iTunes. Did Apple made any changes to prevent this from happening?

Jim - the songs do not play in QuickTime. I am a technical idiot(!) so unfortunately your answer was like gibberish to me. I need literal step-by-step instructions. Thanks for trying to help me.
