YouTube to MP3

Recently Peter Schiff gave an excellent 55 minutes speech in Killingly, CT. Link - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K70vAAhpk-c

My pain point is I do not want to set in front of my computer for 55 mins just to listen to speech and to click a link every 10 mins. If the video was a webinar, then that is a different story.

Here is what I have been doing.

I use Firefox as my web browser. http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/

I use the Firefox extension DownloadHelper http://www.downloadhelper.net/

I visit YouTube and download the .flv video file(s) to my computer.

I use Leawo Free FLV Converter http://www.leawo.com/flv-converter/ to convert the .flv files to an MP3. The neat part is the software can take the 5 parts of the speech and combine it into 1 mp3 file.

I can now multitask by listening to the speech and performing a physical activity vs. sitting in front of the computer screen.
