I tried this and it worked. I notice though the file is only 64kbps. I was hoping to be able to find out how to adjust the settings in Audacity to get the maximum quality, so far I havent had to much success, as the end product doesnt have much volume.

up the volume of the file source.

I have since downloaded a freeware program “DVDvideosoft” which I use to rip music from YT videos. It gives a much better quality MP3 (256kbps) as opposed to Audacity (128kbps). In other words sounds better. It is also simpler, you just cut and paste the URL.

Thankyou for your comment, because it prompted me to try DVDvideosoft, and I agree it is great. I can select the highest quality of 256kbps for the end product as well.

No problem, I love telling people about that software. I’m glad it worked for you.

everytime i try this, audacity wants to play it while its recording, so i get alot of feedback, and the song just explodes.

DVDvideosoft is awesome to use, but u have the video with the song, so that part sucks. Anyways, There’s other stuff u can do, like line-in recording. No downloading, takes a few minutes, can do it with anything, put into Mp3 format, and the only thing u have to do is plug in a wire, and click a button! Sounds just like the real thing! But it’s totally free! Message me for questions or comments about this line in recording.

DVDvideosoft has a “free You Tube to MP3 converter” in its Free Studio Manager., which I use all the time now. You paste in the URL of the YT video and you can select 96kbps to 256kbps for the quality and then push the download button. It will put your MP3 file in the folder of your choice, and will automatically entitle the MP3 with the video name. It is very simple and has great results.

Ophelia5795April 16th, 2009 at 5:47 am

ok. I did this.
How do I get the MP3 to Itunes??

breakerboyflexMay 6th, 2009 at 3:26 pm

jowythegodMay 28th, 2009 at 10:02 am

By the way , I think it won’t be so complicating if you use ” internet download manager ” to download it .

click the box next to the sound “Thingys” (is that what you call em now?) where it says thinks like “stereo, 44100hz” and such
Then go back to the “scroll down thing”

Mun0z387June 15th, 2009 at 2:20 am

it exports your project to mp3

hexebiobJune 16th, 2009 at 5:14 pm

it is actually a music editing and recording software i use to record my songs or any cover, here they are just recording the song and saving it as mp3, but it is good if u are a musician and dont want to pay for a recording software :D

skaters12334June 18th, 2009 at 11:32 pm

gosh this kinnda stuff is gay it just steals music from other computers and gives there vireses to yours

D4v3yd1June 24th, 2009 at 8:49 pm
