Or you could go to http://www.youtube-mp3.org/ although this and other
similar sites that do youtube to MP3 conversion for free are pretty no
frills and don't offer any options outside of just capturing and converting
the audio and letting you save the resulting file to your hard drive.
Goldwave definitely is more sophisticated and can offer much more than just
the youtube conversion and as for the codec pack, IMO you just can't have
too many codecs. Having a wide variety of codecs gives one lots of options
for creating and playing back media of all sorts.
I sent a message about the website directly to Jed, but it then occurred to
me that others might be interested in a free site like the Youtube to MP3
page, particularly since it is a pretty simple site and thus gets along well
with Window Eyes.

Chris

Hi,
This is a case of having the right tools for the right job. You will need
to sets of tools to get this done. you will need to be able to read the
file.
First you will want something like K-Lite Codecs, or CCCP. You can get this
from
http://ninite.com/
most youtube videos these days are in mp4 format. Most audio convertion
software will handle this format with out anything extra. That being said
youtube still has a lot of flash videos up there and some AVI files, as well
as some other formats. These pakages solve this problem buy adding the
filters needed to and other types. -----Original Message----- deal with
these formats. They are direct show filters that is used buy windows media
player and buy windows media foundation. Most converters will be able to
use the direct show filters to decode and in some cases incode formats that
are not directly supported buy the converter in question.
Now you have the tools to read the file. You now need the tools to convert
the file. There are a number of tools that you can use to get this job
done. winamp and GoldWave are two very useful tools to get this done.
Now go get GoldWave.
http://www.goldWave.com.
Why GoldWave? It is a powerful audio editor and you might think over kill
for the job your trying to do. in fact it is. That being said it is the
easyist converter to use. It will provide you with speech feed back when it
is done. it you need to merge files in to one audio files like for the pesky
youtube videos that are split up in to five parts when one would have done
nicely. Not only that but if you find your self working with a number of
files that are to loud or quiet you can fix the problem at the same time you
perform the convertion.
This is what you need. If you need help on how to use the tools let me
know.

Subject: extracting audio from youtube
Hey guys,
OK, I've got a challenge for all. I've got a few videos where all I need is
the audio. Is there any way I can extract the video and save it in an mp3
of some sort?
I'd like to find some way to do this using window-eyes.
Cheers,
Jed
