Download Mp3 from Youtube Videos

Several web services have been created to convert the audio of Youtube videos into mp3 files. Most of them however require the url of the video as input which means that the process requires some heavy copy and paste operations if several videos are to be converted. And then MP3 Getter. appeared on the scene. MP3 Getter is a German service that combines video search and mp3 download in one service.

Although the website is completely in German it should not be a problem for non-German speakers to navigate the website. The process is easy and clear. A search term is entered in the only search box on the main page of MP3 Getter. Youtube is then queried and the results are shown on the next page. Ten results are shown with preview images and names and a click on any of them loads the video in the foreground.

The video starts playing automatically and a click on the button MP3 downloaden starts the process to split the audio from the video. It takes a while and a save file dialog box is presented once the mp3 file has been created.

MP3 Getter has the advantage over similar web services in two key areas. It provides a Youtube search which means that the user does not have to copy and paste the url of the video that he wants the audio from. The second is that the video is actually playing while the ripping is processed.
