Saving a Utube video of a song

I have a Utube video of a song bookmarked on my computer, but I can't figure out how to save it to either the My Musc file or Video file on that computer. Do I have to convert it to a MP3 first?

Google/youtube doesn't make it easy to download/save. You need to run an app to do it. There's lots of different options, but we've had good luck with 4k Video Downloader, https://www.4kdownload.com

But be careful, there's a fair amount of malware out there using video download software as a way to get on your machine.
