And if you use Firefox, try DownloadHelper. If you use Chrome, a good option is Video Downloader. I haven’t found a good audio-only downloader for non-YouTube videos (if you have, please share in the comments), but there are several general-purpose FLV ripper extensions that install into your browser and easily save streaming video as a file on your disk. If you want to grab audio from a source other than YouTube, your options are a little more limited.

This fixed the problem, and I had no issues with either Internet Explorer or Firefox. Note: I was having difficulty getting to correctly download files in Chrome until I temporarily disabled my extensions. Just click on one of the video links directly below the video window. Incidentally, if you want to record a video, you can do that from the same interface.

A lot of YouTube videos have a splash screen at the beginning or end that won’t come across well in an audio-only file, so it’s worth leaving this checked.

Title and Artist: Use these two input boxes to choose a filename for your download, as well as to set the artist metadata-very useful for any software that organized media files.From and To: Drag the sliders if you don’t want to record the entire video.
