And install Lame not Lame jokes as it is not that you want .

Audacity will need to be pointed to it to compile (?) Aud files into MP3 format.

Did you not see that it's free?

Don't argue - you N E E D I T !

Make sure it's for a Windows system, if that's what you actually have.

Stay away from hairballs.

1147171 2010-10-24 04:06:00 I use the Sothink addon for Firefox to download youtube content and for any encoding of Audio I use any audio converter and for video I use any video converter both of which can be found here (http://www.any-audio-converter.com/) along with several other editing programs they are free, easy to use and quite simple, however they do work extremely well gary67 (56)
1147172 2010-10-24 05:06:00 I use DownloadHelper (addon for FF) to get the video (usually in MP4, however some of the HQ formats are in FLV, then the HD stuff is in MP4 again).

You could probably burn it to a DVD with windows movie maker.

1147173 2010-10-24 07:10:00 Thanks Ron and S.

Are we saying it is possible to get the music only so as to play on CD in car? If all you are after is the music, I use Freesoundrecorder (www.freesoundrecorder.net), works On W7 no problems at all. You can set the recording to record in WAV, MP3 or WMA.

You just have to setup your recording in your audio settings, but you would have to anyway with any recording software.

read here: and follow the steps. Only needs to be done once. This links Audacity to the Lame download automatically for all future uses......

Yes. But only if the car CD player plays MP3 and not all do. There again there are ways around that too using converters and the correct A/V equipment.

1147176 2010-10-24 10:09:00 You can just burn MP3s using WMP, it'll convert them on-the-fly. ubergeek85 (131)
1147177 2010-10-24 15:26:00 Yes. But only if the car CD player plays MP3 and not all do. There again there are ways around that too using converters and the correct A/V equipment.

Are there any CD players in cars made after - er, 2000 or so, that don't play MP3s? The less-endowed ones of yesteryear are all gone here and all the new third party ones are very much capable I believe.

Just one thing - an MP3 is not always an MP3 either.

I'm talking about bitrates and the fact that no-one needs much better rendition than 128kB to listen to in a car. Frequently I record in 56kB for lots of music.

I can cram several hours of MP3 data on a single disc for my long distance traveling across the states where radio reception, if there is any, is questionable and may not be what I want to hear anyway.

It makes those 90-hour drives feel more like home. I like to 'wander' a little while I go from place to place.

.......and Stevie Ray Vaughn at 200dB in the grand Canyon is really nice.

Thanks S.

I have Audacity now, it was the Lame bit that I couldn't quite get, not clear to me which of choices were the one I wanted.
