YouTube to mp3 help needed...

I've been using Transcribe! from www.seventhstring.com for the last several months to learn songs. At $39 it's worth every penny. It will work with any format I've thrown at it, which includes videos. There is a 30 day free trial period for you to try it out before you buy it.

This program is fantastic as well. It's invaluable if you need to learn a song in a different key. Just change it to the key you want and save the new file. BAM, you now have the song in a different key so you can learn it.

I've not used Transcribe so I can't comment on how it compares but BestPractice is a great tool for changing keys without changing tempo or changing tempo without changing pitch. Very easy to use and it's free.
 
There are many converters available but many of them are really complicated in use. I've had enough copy and paste all the time URL address of a song or video I want do download. It's a waste of my time. I use those two sites which makes the whole downloading process much shorter and really easy and everything is on the same site: YouTube to Mp3 Mp4 Converter - Y2bee and Link Removed
 
I use this application but I don't remember it's name :p it allows you to download either the video or the audio in several bit rates. Works perfectly fine.
For downloading videos I used to paste the youtube url I liked into the Songr search box but it longer works.
I'll post it here later.
 
Use Audacity. It is a free sound editing software. Set the input to Wav Out (loopback), and it will record any sound from any website. If it is coming out if your speakers, it will record. While you're in Audacity, you can set looping points to help you learn.

Bonus: no sketchy websites trying to infect your computer or trick you into downloading junk.

This version executes perfectly on my Win10
Yes, mine too. However, there is no option for 'Wav Out' under Inputs.

There is no option that looks like it supports sound recording in Volume Mixer or Sound Settings.
Audacity works fine, there just seems to be no way to connect its input to anything other than the microphone and whatever the Sound Mapper is...

I connected a USB cassette player to mp3 and used the Sound Mapper option. And yes it worked okay, I finally could transfer my old tapes to mp3 files.
Anyway, just use 4K Video Downloader (FREE), select Download Audio and you're done.
Easy!
(You're welcome :thumbsup: )

I've had it set up for years this way. May be a couple extra steps... Check out #2 in this article. https://www.howtogeek.com/217348/ho...-coming-from-your-pc-even-without-stereo-mix/
