Youtube MP3 Ripper

wary

Does anyone know of a Youtube MP3 ripper site that still works?

The two that I used to use, the type where one enters a YT URL rather than downloading software, no longer work, and I've just tried a few others without success.

Google have been clamping down on these, presumably because people have been using it as a way to illegally download music. However, I use it for downloading documentaries to listen to on my iPod before deleting.

2conv.com still works unless thats one you have tried - I admit I didn't check this morning.

Thanks all for the replies. I've checked these out:
- freecorder: has some useful recording utilities. The YT Downloader appears to be for video only, and even then I couldn't get it to work (some URL Schema error). The only other way is to record the audio as the video plays, as opposed to simply ripping from a quoted URL
- 2conv.com: successfully ripped audio for a couple of shorter videos, but seems to hang for anything longer
- YTD: have to download as a video & then convert to MP3. Alas the download seems to no longer work (some invalid URL message)

I use the Net video hunter plug-in for Firefox to download the video and then rip the audio using Pazera

I find http://snipmp3.com/ works quite well.

Thanks both for the latest suggestions.

SNIPMP3 is just the thing I was looking for. Let's hope Google keep their filthy hands off this site!
