Does anyone use FLTVO?

[url=http://www.flvto.com/]YouTube to MP3 - Convert YouTube videos to MP3[/url]

You can use it to get mp3's (or other formats) of a song you like from youtube. Apperently it is completely 100% legal. Ive only used it once (to get Brooks and Dunn, Cowgirl Dont Cry) and it seemed to work really well.

Anyone know if its really legal? Or if there are any drawbacks?

How can ripping a MP3, for free, be legal?

Program is legal.
Not sure about the downloading.

But you won't get caught anyway, the uploader would.

But even so, MP3s are not the same quality as the real deal audio, especially if the bitrate is below 160Kbps.

if you can listen to it, it's already downloaded (into ram). that's just like a stream ripper, it's like hitting record then listening.

I mean, if you have mozilla, you can have a little save mp4 link on every youtube page by default, no program required.

Re: What song are you listening to right now?
 

Ive looked around and i think its legal, but i dont really understand why.....

I [I]guess[/I] the thought is that you are using songs from youtube which the record company provided or effectively provides by not shutting down videos individual's uploaded. As long as you dont sell it or purposely give it to others i [I]think[/I] youre susposed to be good.

Im pretty sure recording a song from the radio is perfectly legal, but selling a mix tape you made from recordings is illegal. This is supposedly the same deal.

And SCP, thanks, i forgot that MP3s come in differnt quality. I got no idea what the quality is you get from fltvo. At best its probably whatever the quality of the mp3 is that the user uploaded or youtube allowed.

Everytime I hear that song I think of my old buddy Jimmy Norris. He could sing the hell out of that song and our band did what I think was one of the better versions of the song.

Re: What song are you listening to right now?
 

You know, as I listen to more and more music, I've come to appreciate bands and songwriters that have better and more interesting lyrics. I've always walked a fine line in regards to mainstream music, because while I like it plenty, it's hard getting involved in some songs where the lyrics are just your generic crap with a catchy beat behind it. Case in point: Five Finger Death Punch. I thought their first c.d. was okay, not mind blowing, but not bad either. Then their second c.d. came, and even though it had the same sound, I liked it a hell of a lot more even though the lyrics weren't that great. Now I just got done listening to their new c.d. and I feel like they shouldn't even have bothered putting it out. It sounds like they went to the Disturbed school of writing lyrics, which is to say they are getting to the point where they rehash the same shit and slap a new c.d. cover on it.

Same thing with rap. I really enjoy the song "Street Life" by the Geto Boys, because it not only has a nice beat with it, but they actually tell a whole story within the song. On the other side of the spectrum is this other more mainstream song I like. "Blunt Blowin'" by Lil' Wayne is off his latest, and I like it and everything, but it's just your standard cheesy Lil' Wayne rap with a nice beat behind it.

I find myself transitioning more to songs in all kinds of genres that have better lyrics behind it, even if I don't like those songs as much, just because it gets hard listening to the same shit over and over again. Obviously the rehashed shit is mostly money driven, but damn it gets annoying. That's why they have no credibility. It makes me wish we lived in a golden age of music where your mainstream music could have a nice beat and lyrical credibility, and vice versa for more underground artists.

And then the first song I post after my post right above this one is this lyrically meaningless catchy song off of Bush's comeback cd. I'm definitely enjoying this one though. It's a good time to be a band from the 90's if your name isn't Nirvana.

Simply amazing. Being a big fan of the Dead Ive heard it all and enjoy it very much. But my favorite Garcia work is in his side projects: Old and In the Way, Garcia Band, JG Acoustic Band, Grisman and Garcia, and the first incarnation of JGB, Legion of Mary. Put away all stereotypes the Dead and just listen for what it is, great music.

Re: What song are you listening to right now?
 

I just picked up the Born to Die CD by Lana Del Rey and despite her poor Saturday Night Live performance, I think the CD is a brilliant work of a new artist. Yeah she's kinda got the jazzy lounge singer feel with a touch of hip hop seeing as a lot of her songs were arranged by hip hop producers and the songs are really a lot of bad boy meets girl/bad boy leaves girl or vice versa, I think it's lyrically pretty amazing, especially considering the amount of vapid crap out of the market today.

I feel awful because the music critics have really lukewarm if not totally trashed the CD and I feel like a lot of it came from her strange SNL performance and people trying to figure out if shes a Lady Gaga clone in a different genre of music.

As someone who really enjoyed Amy Winehouse (and no, Del Rey isn't as good as Winehouse) and enjoyed that jazzy lounge feel, I really can't help but defend the girl and hope she does well in her music career, if hopefully it lasts that long.

Level 42 did a few good tracks back the days of Jazz-Funk in the UK, very big for about two minutes.
