YouTube to MP3 Converter
Some of my recent Tip of the Day posts lead you to very long YouTube videos that would be just fine to listen to instead of needing to watch. The free program "YouTube to MP3 Converter" is an easy to use, copy and paste URL, program for downloading an MP3 version of the audio from a YouTube video onto your computer, directly into iTunes if you wish. I love listening to podcast and audio books on my iPhone, so this is VERY convenient for me. Here's the developers pitch line...
"You like to listen to music on YouTube but want to do it offline or on your favorite portable player. You have found soundtrack of new movie on YouTube and want to save it to your music library as MP3 or AAC (M4A). Then MediaHuman YouTube to MP3 Converter is the best choice for you.

I've been using it for the long Leonard Bernstein Harvard Lectures and the program has worked like a champ. To download the program for Windows or Mac visit: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/37714/youtube-to-mp3
