You can get firefox plugins that do this, I'm pretty sure

I had one a while ago

You can just use a HTML script

Add the above to your bookmarks, and call it 'youtube downloader' or simliar. Click it when you are on a youtube page, and the below bar appears at the top of the page. Click which format you want it in. Done.

This is the easiest and most effective solution i've found so far

youtube quality is often not very good to start with anyway, so i just wouldn't download songs from it at all lol

Youtube quality at 720 and 1080p will give the equivalent bitrate of 160kbps - don't use it unless you're desperate

End your sentence there

i think you're all missing the point =_= only reason i posted was incase people came across videos they would like to access offline, as is the case with all the FL studio tutes, i dont want to have to be connected to the interent and re-stream the 30/40min tutorials all the time, i want them on my hdd to access whenever i want and organised into lesson numbers

^yer I gathered that, i did this alot myself with dj tutorials when I was starting out.

Your method is fine using the software, but for those on Mac, or who don't want an extra piece of software, the JavaScript bookmark code i posted earlier does the job nicely too

Jaz was too baked to read the whole thread

[Jaz]

i didnt even read the full title....

nah i just saw youtube downloader and already knew that most download the audio as 360p even if the video has 1080i....so i thought i would share that it will drop your audio quality

You can't turn a low quality vid into a high quality mp3, so im not sure what your calling high quality
