Hey guys,
Does anyone have the technology to strip the audio off James Cotton's "Slow Blues" from youtube? I've always wanted to make a desert island picks cd and this would definately be on it if it was just in its audio form.
Also i suppose if you could do that then Nat Riddles' "sonny boy's jump" from youtube would also be good.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Any basic recording software would do (I guess you already have one on your computer) : all you have to do is to record straight from your sound card. Check the setting of Windows (or whatever).

I use Firefox. There are many add-ons that make tasks like this easy.
I think there is even one that strips the audio and turns a youtube video into an mp3 automagically for you, but I have found that it is horribly slow - it uses a 3rd party service that is add-based and you are bombarded with ads while waiting for your file to be made. I don't know if it's still around.
I use the 1-click youtube downloader firefox add-on. I download the youtube video onto my hard drive. I prefer mp4 format.
(To install a firefox add-on, just run firefox and click on Tools - Add Ons. Type youtube and a slew of tools should pop up...)
Then, I open the file with avidemux (another free-libre open-source program). I click on Audio - Save and it saves a file that contains the audio from the downloaded youtube video.
Easy.
Get Avidemux here:

NewZealand18,
Easiest way, download through realplayer. Go the your realplayer library, burn the video into CD, it will burn only the audio part. I use this method with the older version of realplayer, dont know if it works with the latest version though.
Hope this help.

If you have a Mac, Audio Hijack Pro will strip the audio off anything you can hear on your computer. I use it every day to rip BBC Arabic broadcasts for my study.

To your last question : use any sound editor once you've grabbed your mp3 file.
Audacity is free, easy to use, and does the job. It opens your files in a sound wave form, you just have to select the intro part and press delete.
