Whether to convert YouTube to iTunes or transfer YouTube to Apple Music, you'll need to first convert YouTube videos to the format supported by iTunes. And according to Apple, iTunes's supported audio formats include: MP3, AAC, AIFF, WAV, and video formats include: MP4, MOV, and M4V. That means you just need to convert your YouTube videos to any of the audio formats listed above if you want to get YouTube videos to your Apple Music. And here, we will show you how to get this job done with some simple steps.

Part 1. How to Convert YouTube to Apple Music

As we mentioned earlier, you'll first need to convert YouTube to the format supported by iTunes. To do this, you need some converters to help. And here we will present you with two simple video downloaders, either be computer-based or web-based. Both are capable of downloading videos in different formats, but they are different in specific features. To know more about each method, you can check the following instructions. 

1. EaseUS Video Downloader 

To convert YouTube to the format supported by iTunes, you need an effective third-party video downloader like EaseUS Video Downloader to help. This program acts very fast and works almost flawlessly in terms of downloading videos, playlists, and channels from YouTube or other popular videos/audio-streaming platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Dailymotion, and more. During downloading, you can select the output format like MP3, MP4, or WAV and choose the quality of your video/audio. 

Here are the steps to download YouTube in MP3, MP4, or WAV.

Step 1. Open EaseUS Video Downloader, and then copy the URL of the YouTube video to this program and click "Search."

2. YT5s

YT5s is an online YouTube video downloader that can help you download videos from YouTube to your computer. It is 100% free and supports various output formats, including MP3, 3GP, MP4, WMA, M4A, FLV, WEBM, and MO formats, etc. The best part of this tool is that it works well on almost all platforms, such as Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, or iPhone...without installing any software. But it only supports YouTube. If you want to download videos from more sites except for YouTube, you need to use other video downloaders like EaseUS Video Downloader instead.

Here are the steps to download YouTube videos:

Step 1. Open YouTube and find the video you wish to download.

Step 2. Copy and paste the YouTube link to the search box. 

Step 3. Select the MP4 or MP3 as your output format and click the "Download" button.

Step 4. Wait for the conversion to complete and download the file to your computer.
