Best Tool to Download YouTube Music Playlist to Computer

From Spotify Music to Amazon Music, or from relatively new Tidal, Apple Music to YouTube Music, listening to songs on streaming music platforms or music software is currently the most common way we listen to songs. Like other streaming services, YouTube Music offers a full music catalog with 100 million songs -as long as connecting to the internet. It elevates your listening experience, but it takes a massive amount of data as well. Thankfully, YouTube Music can also work offline.

In this article, we’ll show you YouTube Music's download limits, and share a powerful tool to download a playlist from YouTube Music on the desktop for offline playback or listening to them on any device freely.

Part 1: Can You Listen to YouTube Music Offline Freely?

Offline listening is becoming a necessary feature especially when you need to listen to music without an internet connection. With this feature, you can download and save individual tracks, playlists, and albums from YouTube Music as cache files for offline playback wherever you are. But the problem arises when you want to listen to YouTube Music tracks offline on any device.

Here are some download limits for YouTube Music:

1The offline mode only works on an iOS/Android device and Apple Watch.

*That means you can't listen to offline music on your computer or other devices.

2The offline playback feature is only available to Premium users.

*Once your YouTube Music subscription expired, you can keep using the service, but with ads and without the ability to access to downloaded content or download tracks. Free users can’t listen to YouTube Music songs offline.

3The downloaded music can only be played offline on YouTube Music App.

*You can't play YouTube Music playlists on most of the devices that don't work with the YouTube Music application or don't allow you to play YouTube Music via a browser.
