How to download songs from YouTube?

Someone please explain to me what program I need to download to do this and how to do it. Thank you

 

Just use a site like http://www.video2mp3.net/

 

Mozilla firefox has an add on with it called 'download helper'. Its free with the program.

Once you've downloaded firefox w/ download helper. You will see a weird looking symbol where the 'homepage' button usually is. Upon scrolling over this button, a small arrow will appear on the side, click it. (Note: This button will only appear if there is a video to download. Otherwise it will remain gray and un-clickable.

You will now see a couple of different file names pop up, being every file name is unique to the particular video your watching, I can't tell you exactly what to look for. Usually it will have some variance of the name of the video your watching. Click on the one you want, then click 'download'

A small box will pop up, showing you that you are downloading the file. But odds are its in FLV. format which is un-usable if you plan on listening to it through an Ipod. So you'll have to convert it.

www.zamzar.com is the best free file conversion program I've ever found. Its completely free and does the conversion relatively fast. (Granted the size of the video)

Zamzar sends the file to an e-mail address you specify. Once the file has successfully converted, wait a minute then open your email. You should see it there. Open the email and you will see a lengthy link, leading you back to zamzar and your converted file. Click it.

Click the green 'download' button. And you will see a box pop up, similar to the one you saw when you initially downloaded it from youtube. Right click on it when its finished, and click on 'Open containing folder'.

You will then be able to click and drag the file to your ipod, playlist or whatever you fancy.

Hope it helps!

Well I'm smarter than I give myself credit for, I figured it out. Why the fuck am I just now doing this? This is like the greatest thing invented since the fuckin internet dude!

It's super simple.

 

I found one called freecorder that is really awesome. I'm gonna check out some of the other ones also. Thanks guys, you kick ass.

 

Audacity is a pretty cool program, and I think it's free. You can use that to record any sounds your computer can play.

 

thats shit never works for me.. fuck.. i just lead the audio out to a cddvr.. piss on all that software shit.

 

ant.com is what i use

 

Download helper has its own built-in video converter that uses several different file formats. It is really easy to use but, after the first few downloads, if you do not register the program it will place a small but annoying video bug at the top of every video you convert.



Friday! Friday!

Yep. Plug in one cable, press one button. What could be simpler?
