Converting YouTube Videos to Mp3
1. Visit YouTube.com and save the URL.. http://....
2. Visit VidtoMp3.com and paste the Url
3. Hit Convert
4.Wait... and after conversion simply download the mp3
What to use this for?
Though the sound quality of YouTube mp3s are usually not that great, it is a great option to save sound from a music video that you just couldn't find anywhere else. Though I don't prefer this method, it is a great solution for unknown music on YouTube (when you can't figure out the artist)

Imeem, its a great little service that lets us share whatever music we want. It's a lot like Deezer, yet more in the direction of myspace. You create your own music playlists and share them on your own personal profile on Imeem. Where was I when Imeem launched?
Rip Music from imeem
So you found a couple albums you like, why not rip them from Imeem? Just head over to Orbit downloader , link here.
1.Start Grab++ from the Tools menu.
2. Grab++ should recognize the song that is playing and started immediately after being located.
3. You'll find that your songs are flv, and very large sizes.
4. You'll need to convert this to mp3 from flv with software such as Freez Flv to Mp3 Converter.

Clickster, Download Legal Mp3s Online

You might have noticed that P2P networks are not always the best solution for downloading music. Searching on the internet can be a more legal, and quicker approach. Along comes the clickster...
Clickster
Rather than connecting two computers together, Clickster lets us download legal mp3s online from the web. It searches the web for the best songs and files. Consider it a downloadable version of g2p.org, a site that searches google for music contained within it's webpages. Clickster will take that same approach and search all of the internet for you.
Download.com gave clickster 3 and a half stars out of 5. I'd rank it the same. Clickster won't find everything you are looking for, but a majority of it us, yes.

Rip Internet Radio with Hit Recorder 2

Early I posted about Station Ripper, a winamp plugin that rips stream from the internet. The Hit Recorder offered from concept/design a German company, lets you rip up to 20 stations at the same time. This means not having to run multiple winamps, rather let Hit Recorder record multiple stations at once.
Why would I want to Rip Internet Radio?
There are many benefits to internet radio
1. Most internet Radio stations are broadcast on the internet at cd quality. This means your ripped music will also be cd quality.
2. For those trying to build collections of the latest songs, this can be time consuming. By ripping internet radio, you can quickly build a collection of the latest tracks. You may end up with repeats and undesirable tracks, but deleting those tracks is just as easy as it was to download them.
3. Legality. Though the legality can be questioned, there is no way to detect that you have been downloading internet radio. Listening to internet radio is legal and therefore, you won't run into any legal problems. Sharing these downloaded files is a different story...

Crack protected mp3 Music, DRM Crack

So you bought music and noticed that their is DRM (digital rights management) on your files. Your file is either limited for a certain amount of time or only works on your computer. What do do? How can you crack the DRM and unprotect your music?
Using tunebite to crack DRM
If you are a subscriber of napster, you know that you can't move your music around, its stuck on your pc. By using Tunebite you can rip the DRM.
How it works
Tunebite plays the music as normal, but uses its encoder to rip the music that has been playing. Think it as recording the sound that is comming out of your headphones. This will lead to a loss in quality, but its hardy noticeable. Plus, Tunebite can play your songs at an advanced speed so you dont have to sit for hours to record your music.

Pandora is a music site that takes the name of an artist you like and attempts to play all other artists that sound like them in order to help you discover new music.
How to Rip Pandora's Music
First of all Before you do anything.
1. Make sure you are using latest Java.
2. Have FireFox

Now when you download, "Save it to Desktop" just so we don't get confused.
Now make a new folder on your desktop name it "Pandora"
Put the file in that folder and extract it in there. Now go back to your desktop and right click Pandora Folder and click "cut"
Right Click Start. Go to Explorer then Local Disk (C: ) or just C:
Now to the right you will see a list of folders and junk just ignore it. Right click in a white area and press "Paste" You will notice your folder is there.
Now minimize that and go to Start/Run and type cmd then press ok.

StationRipper.com has the ability to save music thats played on internet Radio, shoutcast for example, and then it saves the song information including the band title, the song, and with the newest released version the cd artwork. The song is then compressed into a high quality Mp3. The quality of the MP3 depends mostly on the quality of the internet station thats being streamed.
*If you want the song information stored and individual tracks to be ripped, make sure to choose a internet station that shows the song titles in its stream. Some stations don't display track titles only the station name. In this case, rip the station and you will end up with one long mp3 file and not individual tracks.
Downsides?
Ripping music from Internet Radio results in getting music the same quality as the station being recorded (of course). Sometimes the ripper catches the song too late after it starts and some of the song ends up missing.

How to Rip Music from Deezer

Though I've read not to post a guide about how to rip Music from Deezer, I figured it was necessary, in the hope that people won't abuse the ability to rip music from Deezer. Deezer, a service I wrote an earlier post about, allows you to upload and share your mp3 music. They have already many albums on their site and the list continues to grow.
What happens when you upload your music and your computer crashed? You need to rip it off Deezer (a completely legal reason to use this method to rip Deezer music).
How to Rip Music from Deezer
1. First of all, you need Firefox.
After getting Firefox
1. Install DownloadHelper add-on and restart Firefox.
2. Open ‘Customize Toolbar’ dialog, find the icon for DownloadHelper and drag it onto the toolbar at the top.
3. Right click on the icon -> Preferences -> MediaReq tab -> add ‘php’ as a supported extension.
4. Go to deezer.com, play a song that you want to download, and you should see DownloadHelper’s icon being animated (spinning) now.
5. Click on the down arrow on the icon (not on the icon itself), then click on cacheDiffusion.php and in the Save file dialog, name it to whatever.mp3.
Special things to consider
Note that it is not possible to download more than one song (like all the songs in a playlist) at a time from this site.
When saving music, save it as "Your Filename".mp3. You need the .mp3 extension so that your computer will recognize that it is as a music file.
Tips if it doesn't work
If your download is blank. Try navigating away from the Deezer page and going back to your song, it usually works on the second time you visit the webpage.
Don't Abuse Deezer
Those who abuse this, would be stealing tons and tons of music from a nice website.
