Want a song from a youtube video?

Well alot of people have been asking for certain songs they cant find, but you can find it on youtube. I have been using this for awhile and I think its time I share it with the scratch community  smile

step 1: go to MediaConverter.org

step 2: find the youtube video with the song you want on it

step 3: copy the url of the youtube video (up in your address bar)

step 4: paste the url into the media converter box

step 5: click continue then choose the format you want it in (Also works for downloading videos)

step 6: wait until its done the right click the download button and save as

step 7: enjoy your song from youtube.

Sorry if this topic doesn't belong in misc, please moderators feel free to move it  smile

And enjoy song scavaging  big_smile

Re: Want a song from a youtube video?

I'm not sure we should be encouraging people to download songs from Youtube.  Wouldn't that be a copyright violation, in a lot of cases?

I find it interesting that the conversion website you reference is itself unclear on whether what it is doing is legal.  A quote from the site:

This website operates in a grey area. So it is hard to say if it is legal or not. Media Converter never got sued so far in the two years of existence.

Re: Want a song from a youtube video?

I sound record to get songs. Strange thing is when I upload the song to Youtube or play it with Windows MP, even after changing the sound track a little it still knows what the song is.

Find someone post count. Click posts under username. Find number of pages. Times that by 40 for min and 60 for max and you have a rough estimate of post count.

Re: Want a song from a youtube video?

It would be good to read on the Fair Use regulations:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use

Some people might argue that using these songs is fair use, others might argue differently. I think each individual case might be different and it is important to know how to assess our own work under these regulations.
