Tools needed
- Windows computer
- VLC player - http://www.videolan.org/
- Free YouTube Download - http://dvdvideosoft.com
Step 1: Find the video you want
This is the easy part, just search YouTube for the video you want.
It may be a good idea to listen to it before hand to ensure it is the version you want. There are a lot of remixes and covers by other bands (professional or otherwise). You wouldn't want to download a heavy metal song and find out later that its a polka remix
Step 2: Download the video
Use Free YouTube Download to download the video to your computer. I found the default quality and format settings to work fine.
Step 3: Extract the audio
Using VLC, walk through the Convert process to extract the music as an MP3.
If you have a lot of files, you can use the following command to bulk convert them.
for %i in (*.mp4) do "c:\program files\videolan\vlc\vlc.exe" "%i" --sout #transcode{acodec=mp3}:duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=raw,dst=\""%i.mp3"\"},select=\"novideo\"} vlc://quit
