Previously I was talking about a tool which is letting you to download YouTube videos in MP3 format with just few clicks. Today I’m going to introduce you to an even simple tool. It’s SnipMP3.com and here we go!

How to Use SnipMP3?

SnipMP3 is a JAVA applet. In order to run it on your browser you must have JRE (JAVA Runtime Environment) installed. If you don’t have, your browser will prompt you to install it. Follow the instruction and install it before you use SnipMP3.

A JAVA applet will require your permission to run for the first time. For this, again your browser will prompt you. You can click on “run this time” or “Always run on this site”. If you click run this time, every time you are using SnipMP3, you have to give permission. Always run on this site is one time permission.
