How to save audio from Reddit videos as MP3м

Updated on February 26, 2026

There's a surprising amount of music on Reddit - live performances, rare recordings, DJ sets in r/listentothis, podcast highlights. The catch is that you can't save Reddit videos at all, let alone rip just the audio. YouTube to MP3 Converter solves that: it pulls the audio directly from any Reddit video post and saves it as an MP3, no video download required.

The screenshots were taken using the Mac version of the program, but the application looks almost the same on Windows and Linux.

  1. Copy the Reddit link

    Open the Reddit post that has the audio you're after. Copy the URL - it doesn't matter if it's reddit.com, old.reddit.com, or a mobile share link.

  2. Add it to the converter

    Open YouTube to MP3 Converter and paste the link by clicking the Paste link button in the toolbar, or simply press Ctrl+V on Windows or +V on Mac. You'll see the post title and a thumbnail once it's parsed.

    Tip: The program can also watch your clipboard automatically — if you copy a link while the app is open, it will offer to add it right away. You can enable this option in PreferencesGeneraladd links from the clipboard automatically.

  3. Hit Start

    Click Start all to download the entire list, or click the Start button on an individual item to download only that one. The converter extracts just the audio stream — no video data is downloaded — and converts it to MP3. This takes a few seconds for a typical clip.

Tip: Not all Reddit videos have audio

Animated GIFs posted on Reddit look like videos but carry no audio track at all. You can tell the difference by the volume slider — if the player has one, there's real audio. If it just loops silently, it's a GIF.
