Im putting together an edit and was tryna figure out how to download good music. If im trying to post on youtube is copyrighted music just off the table? How risky is it to download music illegally? what do you guys do

youtube will probably recognize the song and you can still use it but can't monetize the video which probably isn't a concern. sometimes the video will get blocked in random countries like Russia
You can download mp3s off of bandcamp (sometimes free) amazon or Apple Music, SoundCloud to mp3 downloaders used to be really easy to find but I haven’t done that in a while. Or you can buy CDs at thrift stores and just burn those onto your computer but that might be a pretty advanced millennial technique
Screen record on your phone, open Spotify, play song, stop screen recording, go to photos and your song is there in the form of a video. In editing software use only the audio from the recording.
You can use iMovie on your phone and do this whole thing from there (if you have iPhone).
Play the song you want to hear on a different device then take a video of it on your phone so the sound quality comes out shitty but then you will be a quirky alt skier.

i always thought this was a clever way to avoid copy right issues on youtube
Any Video Converter is the absolute best for this. You paste a YouTube link and it downloads the video as an mp4. You can then convert it to any audio-only format you want. https://www.any-video-converter.com/en8/for_video_free/
The converter works really well for free software too. I haven't had any issues with it corrupting videos or chopping audio like other free converters do.
it seems the youngest gen views things only though the distinction of neatly curated apps they can swipe and tap away at, definitely not web pages, and barely uses and understands desktop OSs anymore. The average boomer honestly seems more capable navigating "normal" desktop computers than young people. A surprising (to me at least) amount of people only use their phone as their sole media and internet device and watch insane amounts of long form content on it, not just reels/tik Tok short form stuff. I slowly found out I am staunchly in the minority to only watching long form content on a big TV, never my phone. As a filmmaker myself, the thought of all that production blood/sweat/tears poured into a film, for it to only be viewed neck craned over a phone, heard with tinny speakers, is kinda heartbreaking imo
I have an iPhone 13 Mini and only use it for calls/texts/music/social media, no videos or games, couldn't imagine on that tiny screen, and I guess everybody else couldn't imagine since it sadly sold horribly compared to the big and bigger iPhones, which are large bricks imo. Maybe this is a sign that I'm old now (30) but this trend sucks. I miss the era where phones were capable yet selective tools, not the "everything" device, and when smaller = better/cooler, like the joke phone in Zoolander. If my phone breaks, now in 2025 there is literally zero options that isn't a brick... please correct me if I'm wrong on that but I am fairly certain there is zero current small/light smartphones in 2025. The smallest iPhone has a large 6.1" screen, weighs 170g and is directly helping fuel the meme I'm replying to
/rant typed on my Mac browsing NS using safari, unfortunately also a dying use-case compared to phone engagements on NS
