Well, maybe it is a little bit, but it’s for a good reason!

To be clear, this is not about us tooting our own horn. Previously we talked about the best YouTube to MP4 converters and the best YouTube to MP3 converters, and without any false modesty, we recommended Subly as one of your best bets in both cases. Sure, you can work around that by becoming a YouTube Premium subscriber, but that convenience will set you back $11.99 per month (the cost of a standard membership).Īlternatively, you can find ways to convert YouTube to MP4 or MP3 files, store them in your device, and then watch or listen to them whenever, wherever, and however you want, without worrying about your internet connection or phone battery. Not only does that make it inconvenient to watch YouTube as you’re doing something else (like jogging, for example), but it will also quickly drain your phone battery, leaving you with nothing to listen to. That means that whatever you do on your phone (check your steps, weather, email, messages, calls, etc.), it will inevitably interrupt your video.

Not to mention you will have to keep your screen on at all times and you won’t be able to use the app in the background. Now, if you want to watch videos on YouTube, you will have to have a fast, reliable, and constant internet connection - which, depending on where you exercise, may not always be possible. Imagine you go out for a run and want to listen to a playlist or a podcast of your choice to make the time pass quicker.
