I'm looking for a good program to convert youtube videos into mp3s. There are a number of websites that do it for you, you just enter in the URL, but unfortunately you aren't able to select the quality and so you end up getting a small file with suboptimal sound.
If you know of a good program that will convert URL videos into mp3s, that lets you select the quality of the conversion, I'd really appreciate it if you'd let me know.
Thanks a bunch!

Well, erm.. I know of a Firefox addon that lets you download youtube videos as .flv video files, but I've never heard of anything that would rip just the audio off of a youtube file.
There's a program that I use called AoA Audio Extractor which I use when I need to just get the audio off of a video, though I then also need to use Audacity to crop the audio. (I have 5 programs that I use for various A/V related things, so the seperation of roles helps with certain situations)
I use vixy.net, it's slow, but it's a website so it won't install a program, and it works.

my mouth is full of winsome lies -
and eyes are full of death besides
but luckily the soul is wise -
it sees beyond my blindness and
forced failure makes a better guise,
so as i come again alive,
it feels like life's a decent plan
At long last I was able to find the program that I had used a while back.
It's the best I've been able to find thus far, as it lets you select the quality of the mp3, instead of just giving you a crappy 22kbs mono version of the Youtube video.

Regardless of what you choose, the overall quality of the mp3 can only be as high as that of the source, which still isn't all that great. Let's assume that the original audio bitrate of a YouTube video is 128kbps (which is being generous... it's probably 96kbps). That's pretty mediocre quality to begin with, and in order not to reduce the quality even further, you would have to encode your copy at 320kbps, which would give you a significantly larger filesize for a (still) slightly lower quality mp3.
EDH/Commander is a social format, right? So why don't people use their social skills to discuss what they like and don't like, instead of adopting a list with 60+ banned cards?
Thumbs up for the thread Nicol - couple live versions of songs I've wanted as MP3 but never got released (or the release version was crap) - never knew something to rip YouTube stuff to MP3's existed.
You guys are using this for non-copyrighted music, right? Assuming so, wouldn't it be easier to download that music directly from the source without extracting it? If not,
In my case they're not available commercially - usually "off-band" covers - I'd tend to think those are fair game, but really not entirely up on DMCA law.

And the quality isn't fantastic, but it's better than what's provided by the website converters.
