Here's a nice youtube to mp3 converter that is all online, so no installing any dodgy software. I've been using it for a while now and it's always been fine for me

I recommend you a free tool that can help you download youtube video easily. and it can convert the donwloaded video to many portable player or mobile phone. such as, iPod, iPhone, Nokia, BlackBerry and so on.
Always works for me.

I did what you instructed. I was able to get the video, but could not get sound! Any ideas what I did wrong? Let me know. Thanks, ra

Thanks for the sharing! I downloaded 2 videos, but it's a little hard. My Internet connection is not very good and it takes some time connecting to the server!

Thanks for publishing. This tutorial looks good, but needs pictures to really shine on the site. What tends to happen is that instructables without pictures get lost in the crowd and don't see many hits. I've unpublished this instructable for now. Would you mind getting pictures of the process (if it's really difficult, you can find pictures that fit well enough on Google and use them) and resubmitting after you've edited them in?
