How To Change YouTube Vidoes Into MP3 Files

One of my friends asked how to change YouTube videos into MP3 files and put them on iTunes, so I wrote out this whole long list about how to do it. After sending it to her, I realized that I might as well turn them into a post so I help the world of Bloggers in a small way! I hope you find this useful, and if you have any problems with any of the steps, just email me (purplepixieblogger@gmail.com) or drop me a comment. I'll get back to you as soon as possible! And I'm sorry if there are any grammatical or spelling mistakes, I'm not going to take the time to proofread. xP

1. You'll need to use a computer that has...

Fast Wifi

Space (aka GBs)

iTunes

Windows Operating System

2. Go online and open 2 tabs.

Tab one- Find the song on YouTube that you want. It's best if its the official (look for VEVO) music video or lyric video so the sound is better quality

Tab two-

http://www.youtube-mp3.org/

3. Copy and paste the link of the YouTube video into the box on the converter site. Click the 'convert' button and wait for it to convert. When it has finished, click 'download'

4. When it's done downloading, a 'download' box should pop up and the file should be at the top. Right click on the file and select 'open containing folder' 

5. After clicking 'open containing folder,' a new window/folder should open up with a list of everything you've downloaded. The MP3 file should be highlighted. If it's not, go find it in that folder! Right click on the file and select 'cut'. Go onto the music section of your libraries and make a new folder called 'MP3 Files' and put the file in there. I make the folder so it's easy to find the MP3s, and so they don't clutter the Music folder.

6. Open up iTunes. Drag the MP3 file into your iTunes library, and there it is! 

So that's it for the basic stuff. Next will be about naming it, adding the artist, album name, album cover, etc.

7. Right click on the new song in iTunes (For me my iTunes is usually on the Albums section so it's a blank album). Select 'Get Info'. Then you fix the name of it and stuff.

For this I'm using Kiss You by 1D, so I'll do the info. 

Name- Kiss You

Artist- One Direction

Year- 2012

Album-Take Me Home

Track- 2/13 (If you go online or on the iTunes Store you can figure out what track number it is, and how many songs there are. Example- 6/10)

Genre- Pop

8. Click 'save' and it will close. Right click again on the blank album picture that contains the song. Select 'Get Album Artwork' and wait a few seconds. If it finds the artwork, then it will load onto the album. If not, right click again and go back to 'Get Info'. Go onto the artwork tab. 

Go online and google the album cover. Once you find the one you like, right click on the image and click 'copy image'

Go back to the iTunes and paste the image into the box. Hit save.

And there you have it, in 8 steps!

 If you have any questions please email me or leave a comment. Again, I apologize for any grammatical or spelling mistakes, I'm not editing today.

Michael Jackson

Hey.

 I just want to put this out here.

I. Love. Michael. Jackson.

No, not like I want to marry him or anything. That would be really weird. And creepy. I don't want to think about that now... He's kind of attractive, but I don't like him in that way. Let me rephrase that.

I. Love. Michael. Jackson's. Amazing. Music.

Now that the awkwardness is cleared up, let me elaborate.

I'm sure some of you people like MJ. Maybe even as much as I do, who knows! Other than you... And I'm sure some of you don't. But that doesn't matter, because I'm talking about me. I hope that doesn't seem conceited or anything. So.. back to music.

I wasn't always a fan. It happened pretty recently, a few months ago. I remember in 2009 when he died. A bunch of kids in my RE group were talking about it. I recall saying that I didn't know if I liked him or not, as I haven't heard many of his songs.

Even now, I haven't heard all of his songs. But I have quite a few albums. Bad 25, Thriller, This Is It, The Essential Michael Jackson, The Definitive Collection... And I'm still working on getting more.

Some of his songs are inspirational and have deep meaning, such as 'Man In The Mirror,' 'Black or White' and 'Price of Fame.'

Other songs are beautiful love songs. They either want to make me cry, or make me feel super happy. Some of those are 'I Just Can't Stop Loving You,' 'Billie Jean,' 'P.Y.T.' and 'The Girl Is Mine.'

There are also some songs that are a mix of romance and partying songs. 'The Way You Make Me Feel,' 'Street Walker' and 'Just Good Friends.'

The party/workout songs are probably my favorite, though. 'Bad' and all of the remixes, 'Don't Stop 'Till You Get Enough,' 'Speed Demon,' 'Thriller,' 'Smooth Criminal,' 'Al Capone' and 'Another Part of Me.'

There are tons of other songs by him that I haven't listed. I have all of those songs and more. But MJ has tons of songs that I haven't heard yet.

I hope I'm not creeping you guys out with my obsession.

Anyway, I hope you guys go and listen to Michael Jackson sometime, he's really amazing. If you can't figure out anything good to listen to, just send me an email or leave a comment. I'd love to help you out!

Back!

Hey Everyone!
I sort of took a long unexpected break from blogger.. =) But I'm back. I had an awesome New Year! My family stayed up until 12:06 am January 1st, 2013!!!! And oh my gosh, who has seen Kiss You? It is the FUNNIEST music video ever!!!

And I love how they have 'sailor clothes', I go to sailing camp every year and I would die laughing if everyone wore those. =) And Niall looks so cute/funny in his skiing outfit.. Which reminds me that I'm going skiing in February! **Whoop Whoop!** Anyway, I hope everyone has had an AWESOME 2013 so far. =D

xoxo

Everything About You

I just haaaaaaaaaaad to post this song. I love it sooooooo much!

#9) Everything About You First song I heard knowing what part Niall sings. :-)

One Direction Music Videos

My "Direction Infection" is really kicking up right now, so I thought I might share a few videos to get it out of my system. ;-) And yes, I noticed some of the words are spelled wrong in the lyric videos!

#1) Another World I love this song, and the video is really cool because it shows the picture of the boy who's singing.

#2) Live While We're Young Yes, I know Sierra posted this but it's so awesome I want to post it again!

#3) What Makes You Beautiful The first song I ever heard by 1D, and they weren't even singing it! At a camp I went to we were singing it around the campfire.

#4) Gotta Be You I think this song is so touching. But Zayn ruined it at the end by kissing a girl. :-( (At least I think it's Zayn...)

#5) Stand Up The pictures are similar to #1. I LOVE this song!

#6) Stole My Heart I think this is my favorite song by One Direction, but I couldn't find a real video of it. I'm not even sure if there is a real video by them. If anyone has it, please tell me!!

#7) Same Mistakes This song is so cute. :-) It's definitely one of my top five! Maybe even top three....

#8) Forever Young This song makes me sad. I posted about it before. You can look at my extremely short post HERE.

That's it for now. I could post all of their songs but I don't want to bore you guys!
~Purple Pixie Directioner (LLN!)

Forever Young

I'm sitting at my computer listening to Forever Young. And I'm crying. It's so emotional. :-( I love One Direction. ♥ I'm so obsessed. I just bought their book. It's so awesome! Liam is now my favorite because his favorite country is America! ♥ Sorry that was a really short post!
