Advantages of Downloading Music Videos

There might be times when you don’t have access to the internet (or your cellular network, if your iPad connects to one) and can’t stream music videos. Having your favorites stored on your iPad lets you watch those videos practically anywhere. Other advantages of downloading music videos include:

Reduce the strain on the iPad battery. It takes more power to stream than it does to play a file locally. Save time by not having to go online to find your favorite videos. Watch music videos that are no longer available online. Free up bandwidth on your internet connection. Save on your data plan, if your iPad connects to a cellular network along with Wi-Fi.

Downloading instead of streaming is a useful option. However, the iPad doesn’t come with any built-in facilities to capture video streams from the web and turn the streams into files. For this, you’ll need to use a dedicated app. The App Store has free, simple-to-use apps that download content from YouTube.
