YouTube Audio Capture
GO THERE

The internet is full of audio so a good audio capture program is a huge asset. This is a very simple yet robust audio capture and is the one I use. To look at it is to understand it. You can select the audio file format, record threshold, record volume and things of that sort. On start it goes right to the YouTube home. The title pic shws the settings I actually used to make this recording.

If you look at the pic below, you'll see that I can aim the browser to a folder on my hard drive.

This is a folder full of flash vids that I'm converting to mp3's. You can use the folder view menu to select the vies, I usually use list as well as delete files from the folder while in the program's browser. The browser looks like an IE derivative. It can get a bit balky at times on the Back move and you'll have to hit back again and it will back up two pages and you'll have to come forward again. Also you may get a partial load. Just use Refresh.

GETTING THE PROGRAM
The program downloads for free but then you register and that is where the $US15 is paid. This gets you an additionlal program registration so that you actually, at least as of when I got it, get two programs. Two very powerful audio programs @ $US7.50 each; don't even think twice. My second one is MP3 Workstation. Here is the process:
  1. Open the link at the top of the page
  2. Download the program
  3. Contact eSoft by email using the address they tell you.
  4. Arrange payment and registration; It's good to have PayPal
  5. Make the arrangements for your second program.
I've been on a tear ever since I got it. I hear it; I want it: I get it. It's almost automatic.

WELL, HOW 'BOUT IT? In a word: Terrific. Once yu get used to it, it's like clockwork. Now the details:

The only real trick to all of this is learning to set the volume for the quality of sound you want in the file. This is a great beginner's program and one I'll probably still be using whne I'm 75. My other Audio programs should be this easy to learn and use.

It's done everything I've asked as well as I wanted and more than I expected of it. Very loud bang for the buck. Another Big Deal with me is that the company talks to you and you know how I am about reachability.

Fit to be the heart of any mp3 software system. RATING: ****1/2
