Did ya know that you can download youtube videos? YouTube doesn't provide a tool, but there is a free tool there "FreeYoutubeDownloader" that will download the videos for you.

Search for it on Google. It is a download from a site called CNet. Be advised that the installer comes with a bunch of crapware that you neither want nor need nor need to install. You have to pay attention though to keep the crapware from installing. Contact me if you need help.

Once you have FreeYouTubeDownloader you can download videos (instuctional?). It will also convert the YouTube videos into MP3 format for audio only.Now you can play them in Windows Media Player.

The cool thing there is that WMP will let you slow it down. Right click in the top bar, choose "Enhancements" and choose "Play Speed Settings".

If there is demand for it, I'll put together an instructional video on getting and installing FreeYoutubeDownloader and then downloading videos and playing them in Windows Media Player.

Gahh.. how did they do it before the interwebs?

I have two applications that I use. For MP3s, I use the Fastest YouTube Downloader, a free app that lets you download a Youtube video and converts it to a MP3. I then place the MP3 into iTunes and use the Amazing Slowdowner. I have used this for a few years now with great success. The other is iSkysoft. This will download a YouTube video and convert it to a number of audio and video formats. I have several instructional videos that I placed in iTunes.

There's lots of software to do these jobs. Ask Mr Google what you wish to do and hey presto.

You can also go to www.keepvid.com and past the url of the YouTube video in teh form. It will provide you with links to download the ORIGINAL video file, as well as several other options AND an MP3.

there is also a site to just grab the audio track from a youtube
