This weekend i found some really good dj sets with electro and house music, which I heard last time some years ago. While dreaming from the past and from crazy parties which I had it came in my mind to rip these music to disc for my mp3 players. Youtube and also other video portals are quite good music archives as well and so it might be the case that already other people did this. So lets ask google and the answer is: just download a freeware called „Audacity“ which is a very good feature ritch audio player/recorder and editor. Install it, play the file from youtube and push the record button in Audacity. After ripping the file, you can edit it, modify or add other effects or just save it as mp3 to disc. For the mp3 export you need an external mp3 codec dll. Have a look at these links:
Audacity download page – remember this cool stuff is freeware
Lame mp3 codec download page – required to be able to export as mp3
Hint: You might run in a problem, where you Audacity problem only records one channel (the right one or the left one) even if the source is stereo. In that case open the „Preferences“ menue and have a look at section „Audio I/O“ – make sure as record source is your stereo audio card selected. I had this issue also, because per default Audacity is configured to use Windows XP internal Microsoft Soundmapper. I just selected my real soundcard and it works fine. Didn’t understand this – check out this screenshot.
