The Free Music and Video Downloader is the best downloader for video and music files I could find. The tool can download from about 35 websites (video portals, streaming services, etc.). Among those services are popular websites like YouTube, Vimeo, and SoundCloud. You can search for names of artists, titles of songs or movies, or other relevant keywords.
Features of Free Music and Video Downloader
The tool will search on all selected websites. You will then get a list of results for your keyword. And now you can choose what you would like to do with those files. You can play it. You can, of course, download the file. And you also have the option to download the file and convert it to MP3 if you only want the music track without the video.
If you already found a video, let’s say on YouTube, then you can paste the URL of that video into the search box of the Video Downloader. Then press Search and Download it. Done.
More Details
The Free Music and Video Downloader does not need to be installed. Just download the ZIP file, unzip it, and then start the executable. Don’t worry about the name. It is indeed called Lacey.exe. You did not download the wrong file.
Under Options, you will be able to change the download folder, download the cover art (if available), choose the video download quality, and more.
Is it legal?
This is always an important question when you download files from the internet. First make sure, that the website you want to download from does not allow to upload illegal content. YouTube is an example of a website you don’t have to worry about. YouTube does not allow illegal content, and therefore you are safe. Even if there were a file that was uploaded illegally, you would not get into trouble. YouTube is responsible for the content and will remove illegally uploaded files sooner or later.
But there are other websites, which allow to upload all kinds of files, illegal or not. If you download illegally uploaded content from these websites, you will be guilty of a criminal offense.
One more thing to keep in mind is that you can only download files for your personal use. You cannot upload those files to any website, give them to other people, or play the music or videos publicly.
Safety first
Yes, I know. I just talked about the legal aspect of downloading. But this is different. I am now talking about the risk of downloading files, even if they are entirely legal.
The Free Music and Video Downloader does not check files for viruses, trojans, ransomware, or other malicious content. You need to have a decent virus scanner installed to take care of all the threats infected software can bring to you.
