Dirpy rips YouTube audio to mp3
Some YouTube videos are really only worth it for the audio portion. I've seen tons of songs posted to YouTube with still images instead of real videos, and often wished I could just download the audio in one step. Dirpy lets you easily save the sound from a YouTube video as an mp3 for later listening, or save the whole video if you really want to.
One of Dirpy's best features is the ability to specify the portion of the audio you want to download by entering start and stop times, which really helps when you come across a video with a long intro. Dirpy also lets you set ID3 tags for your ripped audio files, so they're probably labeled in iTunes and other players. You can find videos to rip by searching on Dirpy or using the bookmarklet on any YouTube video page.

I gave it a go and was not impressed at all the first time... Then I retried it and the site fully redeemed itself. The audio quality is great just be sure you set it to high to get CD quality and change to your likings from there. The ID3 tagging was just as it said so spot on.
The problem I ran into was because of my download accelerator. Download Them All, Firefox extension, forced it to chop off the last minute of the track I tested with. Once I used the usual download method it worked perfectly.
Good find.

http://www.zamzar.com/ can do this too, with a lot of conversion formats to choose form. Emails you when it's done, works like a charm!
