I would like to hear Linus' talk about Git from youtube on my way to work, which means I'm looking for an elegant way to extract .wav or .mp3 from a youtube video.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Udi

Not if it's allowed by the video owner. – Adam Matan Nov 14 '11 at 21:44

I have had success with - http://www.video2mp3.net/ It is free and online!

edit - the one I posted before seems to be failing on mp3's today.

I used the Online FLV convertor for this . Just give the url and select way of output you want .

My comment got deleted :S I was going to say that I tried this site earlier and gave link, however mp3 mode returned a 0 byte file and in AVI mode it had only pictures and no sound so I changed my link to the other one... Hopefully it will be fixed soon. – William Hilsum Aug 7 '09 at 12:57
I had a similar problem as Wil with this and other sites too. The one that eventually worked for me was the one mentioned in the accepted answer. – Fuzzy Purple Monkey Nov 2 '09 at 14:16

my review of 20 online youtube to audio converters.

video2mp3 comes in first, closely followed by abcyoutube. Both cache popular videos there's 0 conversion time. :D

mplayer x.flv -vo null -ao pcm

This will extract the audio in wav format. You can then use an mp3 encoder.
