I know many people have done it with .mov files or .m4a files in iTunes (using the Convert to MP3 feature), but the only method I can come up with for ripping audio from YouTube is to hook up one end of a male-male 1/8" audio cord to the speaker out on your computer, and the other end to the microphone in, and then recording in something like Audacity. It's an involved process, and I'm sure there's an easier way, but I wouldn't know.

Any type of wave editing/recording software. I use MP3 Wav Editor.

Audio Hijack will record anything that you are hearing from your computer and make it into an audio file.

Your sound card can record a number of different sources besides the microphone input.

Double click your volume control (little speaker in lower right)

Go to options
>properties
>bullet "recording"
>check all the boxes and press OK

The options will have different titles depending on your system but look for something like WavOut or Stereo Mix and select it to record.

Now you can use any audio software, even windows sound recorder, to record the computer's speaker output. Make sure your levels aren't too high or you'll get distortion.

It's helpful to have a wav editor so you can trim/filter/modify your file and save it in the format of your choice (MP3). If your not into paying for something like Audition (Cooledit) you can download Goldwave for free: www.goldwave.com

Yes, there is a much easier method with audacity. Just set your audacity to record "wav out" under the tab up top. Then, it will record whatever is playing through your speakers anyway.
