This morning somebody asked me on Twitter to help them find an MP3 for a song that I didn’t know. They included a link to the video of the song on YouTube. I thought this would be a good opportunity to show everyone a quick, free and easy way to extract and download the MP3 audio from a YouTube video without the need for any software. Check the video below for a quick and easy way to get not only any MP3, but also download the MP4 or a Flash video or even a video formatted to play on your iPod.

While I found the sound quality wasn’t as great as you hear on the actual video, I think it’s fine if you are in a pinch and if you didn’t want to download from the Japanese iTunes store with a prepaid card from JPopMp3s.com

Scroll down to the bottom of this post to list to or download the audio only version of this video.

Transcript of video

Aaron:  Hello and welcome to another JPopMp3s.com video. Today I am going to show you how to download and extract an MP3 file from a YouTube video. So for example, if you see a music video for a group that you like but you cannot find just the music track, you can go to YouTube.com and you can download it for free. So for example, I am going to use this song that somebody asked me about on Twitter. She asked me how to find this song. So I am going to click right here and it goes to the video on YouTube.

Let’s stop that. Now it is really easy to extract the MP3 and download it. So what you should do is on YouTube, go up to the URL bar and click in front of the word YouTube. And just before YouTube, type in the word “kick”. So it is the same URL but with the word “kick” in front of YouTube, so kickyoutube.com.

So you go there and you will see kind of like a YouTube clone, and it is the same video basically. So up here you have choices to choose from. You can download the MP4, which is the video, Flash video…If high definition is a choice you can get high definition. You can get the video for your iPhone or just the MP3, which is what we want here.

So we click this and we click this green “go” (button). Now what that is doing is that is processing the video. It is extracting the MP3, and when it is ready, this green box here will change to a blue one that says “down”. That will take two or three minutes, so we will just wait for that. I will pause the video and come back when it is ready.

Before I do that, let me just give us a little plug. You know about JPopMp3s.com where you can buy iTunes cards for Japanese iTunes store and you can download anything you want from the Japanese store.

Normally you would need a Japanese credit card and a Japanese address to get one of these, which you probably don’t have, but I do. So use me! Use my address and use my credit card and I will send you a JPopMp3s.com iTunes card. There are testimonials here from very satisfied customers. Feel free to look through it.

OK. This is still downloading, so I will just pause the video and come back when it is ready.

OK. So once that finished ‑‑ that took about two or three minutes ‑‑ this changes to a blue download button. So you right click on it and save it wherever you want. I am going to save it to the desktop. You can call it whatever you want. I am just going to leave the name as it is.

And once it downloads, you can just open it up and it will play in your default MP3 player. In my case it is iTunes.

[music]

There you go. So the sound is not as clear as it is on the original YouTube video. But you know, if you are going to listen to it in your iTunes there is nothing wrong with that.

OK. I hope you enjoyed the video. Follow me on Twitter. Subscribe to the blog. And have a good day.
