Yes. Common way is to use an emulator to record a YM file.
Then use STSound or another similar YM player to play it back.
This method doesn't work well for any music with sampled sound (e.g. Prehistorik 2 on Plus), or any SID type sound because it records the information once per frame.
Quite a few popular emulators have this recording feature.
Some also allow you to record the sound as wav which you can then convert say to mp3 and play back.
Another question is, is there a tool to batch-convert YM files to mp3/wav?

Slightly late to the party, so sorry about that! ^_^
However, AYEmul (http://bulba.untergrund.net/emulator_e.htm) will happily batch-convert Speccy, Amstrad or AtariST YM files to WAV.
