I did a search, but couldn't find anything...

Here's what I need to do, I need to "rip" a song off of youtube. What's the best way to do it?? I'm sure there's something out there to help.

Your help is greatly appreciated!

Mac or PC?

Start by downloading the video from somewhere like KeepVid, hopefully in .mov format instead of flash. If you're on a Mac, you can use ffmpegX to separate an mp3 from the video file. Not sure about Windows.

If you run Firefox browser, there is an extension by the name of "Video Download (Helper)", I believe, which, when installed, detects any available media on any page and can immediately process the download for you.

It saves the file in the original .flv, but I'm sure you can find a decent program that can convert it for you to whatever file you wish to keep it stored as. Alternatively, you can acquire the VLC player and just use that to watch any and all media, whether .flv or other.
