Go Henri!

Sorry for the shaky video. My little Elph digicam is good for a lot of things. Holding it completely still is not one of them.

Stealing songs from youtube with free Apple software

Step 1... Firefox + Greasemonkey + YouTube to Me script
Step 2... iSquint. Since you followed the directions for the above script you now have a "Save Video As" link at the top of every youtube page. Choose your video, right click, "Save As" on the link at the top of the page. Drag the saved file to iSquint. Leave the defaults alone and click start. iSquint will convert the movie to an iPod compatible mp4.
Step 3... Open up iMovie, drag the mp4 into a new project. Once the movie is imported drag it onto the timeline and go to the Advanced >> Extract Audio from Clip. This separates the audio and the video. Drag the audio clip onto the desktop and you will have a file called "Extracted Audio 01.aiff" on your desktop that contains the audio of the former youtube clip.

It's a long way to go, but using this method you can, for free, extract just about any song you can think of from youtube.
