A question about the Youtube player

[Larry Higgins]

Listers,

Could anybody please give me a pointer or two about how to make the 
best of the use of the Youtube player when listening to audio files? 
At present I am listening to some audio from Radio Station KRLD from 
Nov. 22, 1963, and find it necessary to interrupt my listening at 
times, and can find no way to either fast forward, or jump to my 
previous position.

I actually wish that there were a reliable way to convert these files 
to .mp3, but nothing I have tried lately has worked on any of this stuff.

If anyone could please offer any helpful info on either front, it 
would definitely be appreciated.

Thanks,

Larry
