How to record music from YouTube to convert to WAV?

Audacity 3 Help Forum Windows

I’d like to continue making WAVs from YouTube videos, but after a year’s recess I’ve hit a snag when I try again. Previous method depended on program called Switch, now no longer freely available. Can anyone recommend reliable method to create high-quality WAVs (for burning to CDs) from YouTube? Thanks — LH

I use Google Chrome with an extension called “Sample Tab Audio” Gives option to record and download .wav file. Works well and very simple to use.

I use Clipgrab which can download only the audio part of the video if you choose the right option in the drop-down menu. Use an Audacity macro to convert the downloaded audio files to WAV, if necessary.

Try Youtube to MP3 then load the MP3 file

But the person posting wanted WAV files.

Then convert the MP3 to WAV? Though some resolution may be lost of course
