Youtube to MP3

[woodelf]

I'm totally blind, so I don't know how Youtube is erm screened...is it a video or what and - in this case - would it be possible to download a song featured into MP3 format, so that I don't have to be stuck in front of my pc to hear the song; I hope all that makes sense? Ta Muchly.

Many Thanks Doc, but I can't read the whole of that link!

There are two programs that I know of that do audio recording from internet. One is called Freecorder and the other is called Audacity.
Both are free and reasonably widely available. I think Audacity needs some further downloads to enable saving in MP3 format. Others here are more knowledgeable than me.

There are a number of sites and browser plugins that allow you to do this, but it is against the T & C of the site. If you have a phone that "does" YouTube or can handle the content of such services as Spotify or We7 (and a suitable data plan - or use wireless if in the house) it would keep you on the right side of copyright law.

Sorry - just thought: not sure how you would control a phone. If that's no good, a tablet should do the trick. (Depends on how you interact with the device).

This may not be suitable but...

If Firefox is your browser, download the keep-tube 'firefox extension' (from the list on the right hand side) from here:

http://keep-tube.com/

A 'download' button will appear underneath every Youtube video you watch... press the button and you can download the video to your desktop in either .flv or .mp4 format...

Sorry Snags, Firefox isn't my browser, IE is - but Many Thanks and the same Many Thanks to the rest of you guys, but it'll probably prove too difficult to try any of these, as my screen reader software tends to fight with any other incomer!
