Any video you watch on YouTube will work with YouTube-downloading software. Putting a copyrighted YouTube song onto a flash drive is illegal, however, and can get you in trouble. With YouTube downloads on your flash drive, you can take your music anywhere and listen to it on any computer or portable player. Clips from YouTube songs will work as ringtones for cell phones, and carrying them on a flash drive allows you to edit them on a computer that may not be connected to the Internet.
