How to Download a YouTube Playlist to MP3
Converting a whole playlist one track at a time is tedious. The faster path is to feed the playlist URL into a bulk downloader so every video is queued and converted to MP3 back to back, then saved as individual files you can drop into your music library.
Step-by-step
- 1
Open the playlist on YouTube
Make sure the playlist is public or unlisted (private playlists can't be read without your account).
- 2
Copy the playlist URL
It contains '&list=' — copy the whole address from the browser bar so the list ID is included.
- 3
Paste into the downloader
Drop the playlist link into mp3juices.sbs. Each track is detected and queued automatically.
- 4
Download each track as MP3
Pick 320kbps and save. The files keep their titles so they stay sorted in your library.
Big playlists and bandwidth
Large playlists move a lot of data, so a stable Wi-Fi connection beats mobile data here. If a single track stalls, just retry that one — the rest of the queue is unaffected because each conversion is independent.
Keeping your library organised
Because every file is named after its video title, you can sort by name on import and tag them in bulk afterward with our Metadata Editor to add album art, artist and genre.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a limit on playlist size?
There's no hard cap, but very large playlists take longer. For 50+ tracks, download in batches so nothing times out.
Can I download a private playlist?
No — private playlists require account access. Set the playlist to Unlisted on YouTube first if it's your own.
Will the song titles be preserved?
Yes, each MP3 is named from its source video title so your library stays organised.
