Easy YouTube Video Downloader 5.9

It will show a variety of options below the youtube video. Be sure to be on the direct page for the video, not the channel hosting the video. I use the MP4 option to get Quicktime movies. There are others.

If there is no Amazon or iTunes link to get an mp3, I use the mp3 option below the MP4, FLV, etc. options.

If for some reason this fails, there is another way to download mp3s. Make a bookmark of this site. It will make you go through a few hoops, but generally works to get the sound stripped off the video.

VideoDroid.org - FAST MP3 Converter for Video Sites like YouTube

It will not covert the video if there is an issue of copyright or national boundary. Good luck.
