Quick Tip: Ripping MP3 from YouTube videos

by jaganath on January 12, 2008

YouTube is a great source of hard to find music videos. What if you need a mp3 version of your favorite video song? I used to go through a long procedure of downloading the flv first, then ripping the mp3 using VLC command line. This step, while giving you greater flexibility like setting the mp3 bitrate etc., is still a time consuming job.

 Converting youtube videos to mp3 

With the advent of online video conversion tools, this step is greatly simplified. Use an online tool like Zamzar and select the conversion format as mp3 (or ogg if you are an open format junkie). You will receive an email link from where you can download your music file!
