Rip audio off youtube clips?
on: April 26, 2010, 04:00:11 AM
Is there a simple way to do that? 

Make an mp3 file or wav or something?

Just download the Youtube video to Realplayer, and then when it is finished, RP gives you several conversion options, and you can convert it to mp3. 

Very cool.

You can also use this:

and just choose to convert it to mp3 (in step 2). And they send it to your email (step 3) :)

Yeah, I was thining "rip" and "off" were the keywords in the title. 

It must be pretty popular.  I found three sites to convert youtube to mp3 without any work.  And more people posted here. 

And that was being lazy.  You could always plug into the headphone jack or record it through your own computer as it's playing.  I wonder about the sound quality if it's going through all that.  At least a downloader site would hopefully separate the audio track off the original youtube video and stay as pure as possible that way.

Whatever is being pumped down the internet is compressed already so the quality is a little less that way.  But it could still be good enough for listening.

Toward the Flame: Boris Petrushansky’s Journey Through Scriabin’s Universe

Alexander Scriabin died in April 1915, at forty-three, of a fever that took him within a week — leaving his great mystical project unfinished. He left behind a piano language no one had spoken before, one that a century later still questions every interpreter who approaches it. Boris Petrushansky has spent a lifetime preparing his answer. In a new album and an extended conversation with Piano Street, he traces Scriabin’s path from the early Preludes to the final, shattering Op. 74. Read more
