Has anyone had any luck with downloading mp3s from youtube?

I have tried many sites that say you can download videos from youtube and have them as mp3s...but whenever I do, they end up as ~22 seconds of silence (i think the time is the exact time it took to download)

Right now, i am going to try to download the .flv and convert it using an online converter.

I would just use limewire, but i think my firewall is blocking it...it's not connecting

The problem: I cant install anything....otherwise this would be alot easier

EDIT: I did it...went to downloadyoutubevideos.com and then media-convert.com and opened the file with WMP and then found the file, and copied and pasted it into wherever i wanted it

you can also use vixy.net

i tried vixy.net...but it wouldn't work..22 seconds of silence
it probably would have worked if i opened it with WMP then found the file and copied and pasted, instead of saving the file itself

This problem is very easily solved. you honestly don't have to save the video but if you want to read part 1, if you dont want to download the video, skip to part 2.
part 1
first go google "youtube video saver" find a downloader that works through your internet browswer (like tubesaver) or get a firefox plugin that saves them. save it as a .flv (flash video).

part 2 {if you have 'audacity' skip to part 3}
go get the audio mixing program called "audacity". search for it on google.com or go to audacity.sourceforge.net and download it, install it. or if you prefer not to install it go to portableapps.com (a very useful website for getting programs that run on flashdrives without the need of installation), download it, and extract it.

part 3
Run audacity. look for a drop down menu. click the menu, it will drop down and have 2 options. one is "microphone" and the other is "stereo mixer". make sure stereo mixer is selected. make sure no other audio is playing. click the button to record audio and then start playing your video. if you did it right then sound should be recording onto your mixing board for the sound file.

part 4 - yar har, you're a pirate
