Wonder why this has to be so hard. Just make the YoutTube thing downloadable.. Hmph

Anyways, you got the 56 MB file and now (it's actually not that big, but..) you want to put just the audio on your phone because you've seen the poses so many times, all you need is the timing.

There's the rub. Sure, with all the stuff they already have in XP, M$ should be able to give you a free audio ripper on Win7, but, of course, they won't.

So, google it is - and a minefield it is - no clear answer. Looks like Freemake is the winner :

True - be very careful during the install - you CANNOT (SHOULD NOT) proceed with the Express (recommended) config which will mess up your internet browsers by installing Add Ons - duh, how else is Ellora Assets Corp to survive other than by getting cash from 3rd parties on a per-install basis?

1) Custom installation, both boxes unchecked... next
2) DO NOT install Wajam (I do not accept)
3) DO NOT install Safer Browser (I do not accept)

And, worked - I think - but the audio quality at the end of the day seems a bit disappointing - could be perception.. hmmm, the more I think of it - a lot of cut outs... yuck. But, good enough. Worth my $1 donation..

Then, opens in Audacity - and huge disappointment - can't save as a freaking mp3 and, save as WAV, the 17 MB is now 62 MB!!! WT*!! To save mp3 it needs something called Lame. How lame!

Jeez! Freeware!! Why can't they do it right? Can't they see how big the file was that they started with? It's exporting 128 kbps! Another pain in the * trying to search for how to knock the sample rate down. *ds..

File > Export Audio > Options (Instead of Save) - and then, if you try 16 kbps, it tells you that that's not compatible with a project sample rate of 44 ksps. Ha ha :)
