Topic: downloading music from Youtube

[foureyes1941]

Hi, can anyone help me? I used to download tracks from Youtube to put onto my ipod using the Youtube mp3  converter but in the last couple of weeks or so have noted that Google have stopped us being able to do it so am wondering if anyone knows of another way to do it. I have tried to use Realplayer but not being very computer savvy aren't having any luck with that. I'm desperated as am going away for a few months on holiday and need my ipod stocked before I go. Thank you in anticipation

I love http://offliberty.com/ to save any stream locally, have yet to find a site where it doesn't work.

To save audio from sites that mask their URLs, you could always grab the sound directly from the sound card with tools like http://www.audacityteam.org/.

Phew thank you both, it's gone completely over my head, I just about managed the Youtube mp3 converter but have found anything else I tried was full of selling ploys to buy this and that and so am very wary now  but thank you.

If you like an artist then support them by buying their music, don't rip them off.

It costs a lot of time and money to make and promote music. Even some top artists have now decided to stop recording new music because it isn't viable. Top recording studios are closing down, Very highly skilled recording studio people are losing their jobs. It means that recorded music won't be as good in the future.

30 million Youtube views will get an artist about ?1,500. Soundcloud and a lot of internet radio stations don't pay anything at all.

Bands from poor backgrounds can't afford to tour to try to make a name for themselves as they might only get ?30 for a gig and that is between them. Then consider they take time off work, travel costs, a night in a hotel. It isn't viable.

Soon there won't be any great new artists emerging... except for people from a wealthy background.
