So you’re on YouTube watching a few videos and you come upon a music video that you like. You’re next step would probably be to look for that song to download. Not necessary. YouTube can be a source of music downloads as well. How?
Dirpy is a free web service that converts YouTube videos to MP3 in real time. Just type in the video’s url and you’ll be taken to the conversion page.

You can set the exact time within the video where you want to start and stop recording. This is extremely useful if you only want to download a specific part of the video and not the whole. It will show you how the big the file will be as well.
If it’s a music video, you can set the bit rate you want and even add ID3 tags and comments before Dirpy converts it to MP3. The highest bit rate the service lets you use is 256. You’ll see related videos displayed which is a nice touch.
The service is simple and easy to use. It’s also free. Can’t get any better than that.
