Direct Search & Automated Tagging

Zortam’s built-in YouTube Converter streamlines downloading audio tracks by combining search, extraction, and tag identification into one quick window:

• Automatic Clipboard Detection: Simply copy any YouTube URL to your clipboard—Zortam automatically detects it and fills the address field for instant conversion!
• Direct URL or Keyword Search: Search for songs using keywords or paste video links right inside the app.
• Flexible Bitrate Selection (32k – 320k): Customize your target audio bitrate anywhere from 32 kbps up to 320 kbps (maximum audio quality).
• Automatic Tagging & AutoTagger Ready: Converted files are automatically tagged upon download. Clicking the Files button displays all converted MP3s, fully ready for additional batch AutoTagging or organizing.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Copy a YouTube Link (Optional):

   Copy any YouTube video link to your clipboard (Ctrl+C). When you open the converter, Zortam will automatically paste the URL directly into the search edit box for you!

2. Open YouTube Converter:

   Launch Zortam Mp3 Media Studio and select Converters > YouTube To Mp3 Converter from the top menu, or press F11.

3. Search or Confirm URL:

   If you didn’t copy a link beforehand, type an artist/song name or paste the YouTube link manually into the Search YouTube or enter YouTube Video Address URL box. Click Search to query.

4. Choose Output Bitrate (32k – 320k):

   Select your desired audio bitrate from the Bitrate dropdown box. Choose anything from 32 kbps to 320 kbps depending on your preferred file size and audio quality.

5. Enable Automatic ID3 Tagging:

   Make sure the Tag file if it is possible checkbox is enabled so Zortam automatically fetches and embeds ID3 tags, cover art, and lyrics directly into the converted MP3 file.

6. Download & Convert:

   Select the video track from the results list and click Download. The audio will be extracted, encoded to MP3 at your selected bitrate, tagged, and added directly to your music library.

7. Access Converted MP3s & AutoTag:

   Click the Files button to view all your downloaded and converted MP3 files. They are automatically tagged and ready for further AutoTagging or batch processing directly within Zortam.
