Don't buy Toshiba. Srsly don't -.-
We purposely bought a laptop with international warranty but the repair centre says it cannot repair it cos it is made in china and they do not want  to courier it back even though the call center said to send it there. The Florence place is 1.5 hrs away. Warranty is now over AND, ITS BEEN SITTING THERE FOR OVER A MONTH.
Like what crap reason is tt?!.
Had lunch ystd with some church people. They liked the food. yay :)
But smth was wrong with the green curry. The milk curded. Badly. the curry became clear.

How To Extract Audio From Youtube Videos.


Ok i am doing this on request from a friend.
*Disclaimer:Youtube contains millions of video files which contains audio tracks. It is at your own discretion to decide what is right and what is not. :)
**Youtube files are stored in flv , and this particular software downloads in mp4, which is a easier file format to work with.
***Youtube is used as the sole source of videos due to lack of downloading sources. Reason that i am using youtube downloader is because I have not tried out other programs yet.

I'm going to try to be as precise as possible. Anyone that can read should be able to follow thru easily

The only stuff that you are going to need:

  • Youtube downloader(The only software needed) Website Direct-download (The reason i put the website is for you to visit when you have some extra time.. The direct-download link should work fine though)
  • The little bit of tech knowledge that everyone should(in my opinion) have.
The ~ sign indicates this step only needs to be done once or 'for your information' only.(eg., settings or buttons), which means those whithout the symbol are the main steps.
Ok instructions..
  1. Download the exe and then install it. Carefull, don't install the toolbars. (@ the 4th step of installation) Okay its just me. But unless you are not using chrome, Don't bother.(The awesomeness of chrome. hahaha. I really like this browser. Give up the ie and go chrome. Its linked.)
  2. ~The first time you run the software, this box will pop-up.
  4. ~Check the box and click: (If you want, that is)
  5. This program will appear.
Downloading Video

Here on is how to download ONLY the video file. Extraction of audio or conversion will be shown lower down.

  1. For the purpose of this guide, I will be using a video with the song, "Vanilla Twilight by Owl City".
  2. Go to the page with the Video that you want to download, and COPY the link(the url) Its in the place you type the urls to go to web pages. This applies to ALL browsers universally. If you can't figure out this part, oh dear. you are missing the second thing required. x)
  3. WARNING: The link(before copying) should look like this:                                                         "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIz2K3ArrWk", And not like this: "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIz2K3ArrWk&feature=channel"
  4. Delete anything that looks like: &feature=channel It will get in the way of downloading the file.
  5. Go to the program. The link should appear instantly appear in the first big white box(in the program), as it automatically pastes the link in the box(by accesing your clipboard) *If not, click on the box area and press the key combination "ctrl+v"
  7. ~Now, click on this box:. 
  8. ~A box entitled "browse for folder" asking you where to save the file after download will appear. Click "desktop"(or what you like, but I recommend the desktop as its the easiest to get to and you can move the file anywhere you want after downloading anyway)
  9. ~click when done selecting the default folder
  10. ~The "Download options" need not be adjusted, as it adjusts itself to download the file in the highest quality. Don't change this as it will affect the audio quality.. (Eh I think at least? jon.. edit this part as necessary.) Don't bother checking the option that says: "show video file url"
  11. Ok. we are finally going to download the file.. "YAY.."*applause*lotsa sarcasm implied hahaha
  12. Click (in the main program box)
  13. A "save as" box will appear:
  14. You can change the file name, but don't change the file format. DON'T. it would give you 1 headache.(easy to fix headache but just don't)
  15. Click "save"
  16. File will start downloading(looks like this)
  18. The file is now saved on your desktop:
  19. ~
  20. ~It is stored as format ".mp4", which is the format apple uses. Quicktime will be able to play this. Google it if you cannot open the file. Because I am too lazy to copy the download link.. Need to view the source code and copy directly from there and I am rushing to get this out..
Extracting audio
(getting the song track out)

  1. click on the option: "Convert Video(previously downloaded) from file
  2. (you do see what i mean right???)
  3. click on thebutton and click on the file you want to convert, which in this case, for me, is the vanilla twilight file.
  5. ~It should now look something like this
  7. ~The button:simply plays the movie.
  8. Ok now to extract the audio, or to convert the video file. 
  9. Click on this bar:
  10. A list will appear:
  12. Click on the one that says: "MPEG Audio Layer 3(MP3)"(for the purposes of this tutorial, you can convert to whatever else you like. Its self explainatory)
  13. Click:.
  14. This box appears. 
  15. Move the quality selection bar to max(highly recommended) and volume to max(this is optional).
  16. Should look like this:
  17. Click:.
  18. The file will start converting and will be saved at the same location as the original file.(patience)
  19. ~Looks like this:
  20. After 14 secs±. VIOLA. Your song. 
  21. ~Comparison of the original file and the end result:
  22. ~You can convert it to other file formats that are in the dropdown list. 
  23. ~About the manual conversion. Ehh.. Don't try lah.. Unless you are good at typing parameters. I have not tried before :) Go ahead and try if you would like. :)
The end.. sigh.. That took me 1 hr lol. 
I HAVE DELETED THE SONG AND VIDEO TRACK.
The guide should be very very clear. questions, facebook. not the c-box. tyvm :)
Okay. I am going now.. bye x)

    Went to cinque terre(or is it terra) on saturday. Very nice place. Took a train there and back. First time we took Europe train.
    We bought the pass tt lets us keep riding the train inside of cinque terre. Instead of walking for hrs. xD The museums are pathetic though. Shouldn't call it a museum at all. Ate dinner at this restaurant. And... paid 7eu for 2 cans of drink. walau. epic scam. sigh. Next time go out cannot order drink. tts  14 sgd leh. o.O
    The train ride back was super comfortable. I love the seats. if you extend all of them, it can make a queen sized bed. But the cabin was over heated though. Little bit uncomfortable. Could not open the window -.-. cannot figure out how to do it.
    Sigh the laptop still is not back. Need to update winrar and the divx player and the yt dler. prob the ipod softwares too. sigh.
    Its easter monday. whats the story behind the bunny ah? i dont recall at all.
    Had curry ystd. nice.
    The water here is turning hard.(deposits after washing water)either that or when the landlord left for spain and forgot to add softener. but is the softener added by the distributors or wat?? o.O
    Had quite a few things i wanted to add here. but.. i forgot.
    oh sis is at my bro's nose now. bro is below my chin. i am slightly shorter than mom. And daylight is all the way to 8pm+-.
    playing stupid jumping dog game on facebook. oh its a holiday for us today. shall go look at chem later..
