Rip audio off youtube clips?

[Bob]

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)

I found a few other sites too.   Haven't tried it yet.

You know, that should REALLY be illegal (if it isn't,already...)

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.
