FLV.to saves YouTube videos as MP3 files

There are two things that make FLV.To absolutel amazing. The first is the sheer number of Google AdSense and referral ads that the developer managed to cram into a small space. But we're willing to overlook that because the other remarkable thing about FLV.To is how easy the site makes it to save YouTube videos as MP3 files.
No, you're not going crazy. YouTube deals in videos, and MP3 files are audio only. But there's a huge number of music videos on YouTube, and FLV.To will let you save the audio from those videos in a matter of seconds. Just pop in the URL of any YouTube video and the site will proces the file and spit out an MP3 which you can download and listen to. If you've already gone through the process of downloading YouTube videos as FLV files, you can also upload Flash videos from your desktop for easy conversion.

Zamzar's done this for ages. plus lets be honest, the audio is 64kbps!
There are plent of other ways to get music, for free at high quality.
Rapidshare & Megaupload > Torrents > Limewire
Or if you just want individual files, just use this website
It searches every mp3 on the internet!

Zamzar let's you choose raw .WAV as an audio conversion option for YouTube FLV. If the YouTube file was encoded with better than average sampling rate, Zamzar .WAV file sounds better than MP3.

Or just use something like Last.fm, Pandora.com or MeeMix.com plus some audio grabber like Orbit Downloader... but only if you have an original copy, of course... ;P
