It used to be one of the most famous P2P sharing programs, but now MP3 Rocket has become an indispensable tool for downloading content from YouTube. Whether you want to download audio or videos to your computer or even extract the soundtrack from a video, you can use this tool, with several added functions, which will make the task more straightforward.

This software is a free alternative, ideal for taking to your computer any content from YouTube, the leading video platform in the world. It is as simple as searching for the exact URL address of the content we are interested in, and pasting it into the program, so that it automatically starts a download that, in just seconds, will end up with that video or audio stored on our computer.

On the other hand, it is fair to highlight that MP3 Rocket also has an integrated search engine within one of its many navigation tabs, thanks to which we can search for content on YouTube without even having to open our browser. It's not the best search engine in the world, it must be said, but we don't lose anything by having it there.

Once you have selected the content you want to download to your computer from the YouTube website, you have to establish a specific format according to your needs and tastes and the use you will give to that file. You should know that this software is perfectly compatible with the main audio and video formats, although among them, the following stand out:

• MP4
• AVI
• WAV
• FLV

The download speed of this application is another of its strong points since, by default, it allows us to download content to our computer at a speed of at least 256 Kb/s in the free version, while if we pay for the more advanced version, this minimum increases up to 320 Kb/s. Another slight difference is that only MP3 Rocket Pro reproduces content in HD quality.

Another advantage of this program is that it allows us to preview the contents we are downloading. It may not seem like an essential tool, but it makes a difference and is appreciated. Thanks to it, we will be able to view the contents before they finish downloading; thus, if it is not the file we were looking for, it will be possible to stop it as soon as possible.

Do you want to view the contents you download with MP3 Rocket directly on your smartphone? In these situations, it is also a very attractive software. It allows us to synchronize our phone with the downloads so that they go to the mobile storage without going through the computer disk. In addition, we will be able to establish the most convenient format so as not to load the memory of our cell phones.

Returning to the tabs of this program, which make up a very intuitive interface for users, even for novices, we must say that it is possible to find all kinds of exciting functions through them. For example, the Format Converter . Thanks to it, you can enter different audio or video files in your computer, select a new format and convert them in seconds, dispensing with another program for such a task.

What else can we find inside its tabs? For example, special sections for those who like to be entertained through Radio and Television. It will be possible to access many radio stations and television channels worldwide to follow your favorite content. At the same time, in the background, you can download all the YouTube contents you want.

Even if you prefer entertainment with action, you should know that there is also a Minigames tab, within which you will find several simple titles that will challenge you to solve all the conflicts they pose. Again, if you want to make time while the downloads are being done on your computer, do not doubt this is another good option.

Suppose you like to make radio programs from the Record function. In that case, you can record all the audio through the computer's microphone to generate your podcasts and thus be able to share them later or upload them to some platform in the field.

And how about the management of the content we have already downloaded? Super simple. From the Library section, you will have access to all the audio and video files you have downloaded. It is a perfect option to copy, paste, delete them, or perform any action you want, in general.

In summary, and before making a minor observation, we must highlight that MP3 Rocket is an excellent program for when we want to download videos or audio from YouTube, which has not only the expected functions but also adds several other very interesting ones, such as the format converter, the built-in radio, and television, or the possibility of extracting audio tracks from the videos.

Any criticism? Just one issue does not make the overall assessment of the program, but it is convenient to take into account. Although adding an internal search engine is appreciated, as we have pointed out, the number of results it provides in each search is so tiny that we will usually end up performing the process ourselves and pasting the URL address directly.
