Expert Answer

We did test all of the converters before listing them in this article. When we performed the tests, we did so using standard antivirus software and didn't receive any threat notifications while downloading or playing the files. Unfortunately, there's always a chance a site could become infected after publication, so we periodically retest and edit our recommended sites often. Always use solid antivirus/antimalware protection before downloading anything from the web on any platform.

The legality is a little iffy if you're using copyrighted material. If your use of the music falls under Fair Use laws, it will be okay to use it in your project as long as you don't plan to redistribute it off of Scratch. There's still a chance you might receive a DMCA takedown notification, though you can contest it if your use of the music does fall under Fair Use laws.

Question

How do I know if something is a scam to steal my information?

Community Answer

A general rule of thumb is to ask, "How does this website make its money?" - ads, fees, etc. If you cannot figure it out, they may be selling information, or even something worse. Try doing a google search for whatever program you're thinking about using to see if you can get more information on it.

Question

Is there any problem with the copyright?

Community Answer

Do you intend on using the MP3 file you have acquired for educational purposes, for parody, etc.? If so, it falls under fair use in the USA. If you intend on sharing it with your friends for piracy purposes, then there is a problem.

Question

Do the websites provided inject malware into the MP3 files?

Lawson Wiese

Community Answer

No, because it is not worth it. There are many websites that can convert YouTube videos, but unfortunately many have viruses. Usually, it’s because the website’s ad provider doesn’t filter malicious websites. Try flvto.video/youtube-to-mp3, they use Amazon Affiliate, it's safe and without virus.
