Youtube video => Youtube audio!

This blog post is simply meant to...educate. If in the course of your education you break rules and get grabbed by the authorities concerned... tough noogies!

O.k, so if you're anything like me, you've probably come across a couple of videos on youtube with awesome (or hilarious) sound effects, music, or voices, that you wanted to use for something  e.g. a cellphone ringtone etc. The only problem is IT'S A VIDEO! So, how do you circumvent that little problem? Simple, find a way to "rip" the sound from the video.

Now, though there are hundreds of ways to rip sound from youtube, I always (like anything in life) prefer the easy, lazy, technical-free way. For that reason, I use this web site. The cool thing about this web site is that you don't have to download any software. You just place the url of the video you want to get sound from, follow 3 simple directions (click, click, click), and wait for the sound to be ripped! Then you download it to your PC. Another cool thing is that you have the option of ripping the sound as an mp3, ogg, wmv or wma file.

The only downside to the web site is that you have a maximum of 5 downloads a day.... which is probably not that big a deal unless you're doing something you're NOT supposed to.

SO anyway, now you know how to get sound off youtube using the awesome Media Converter web site, and I hope you are wise and honest IF you do use it.
