Dirpy rips YouTube audio to mp3

Some YouTube videos are really only worth it for the audio portion. I've seen tons of songs posted to YouTube with still images instead of real videos, and often wished I could just download the audio in one step.

One of Dirpy's best features is the ability to specify the portion of the audio you want to download by entering start and stop times, which really helps when you come across a video with a long intro.

You can find videos to rip by searching on Dirpy or using the bookmarklet on any YouTube video page.
