I use Easy-HiQ to record a variety of computer streams and use it on occasion to record YouTube audio.

Cheers mate but it looks like you have to pay for that after the trial?

I was looking for something that's free if possible.

There is an online "youtube to mp3" converter called dirpy. Very good.
Make sure to only download material that is not copyrighted

the best thing i find is to download the youtube video here: keepvid.com and then use a wave editor like audacity here: audacity.sourceforge.net and then record the music and save as mp3.

put pwn in front of youtube.com and it will bring you to a website that will allow you to turn the video into an mp3.

for example:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOiLVo8yIJE

becomes

Jaysus there are tons of ways!

Personally I've the Youtube Enhancer script installed.

Then use oxelon media converter to convert the .flv or .mp4 to an .mp3
