Here is a neat way to build up your music collection – especially if you like the sound of vinyl as opposed to digital

Go to youtube and search for any record, song, old concert or Tv program

Turn it into an MP3 online – within seconds

If you want to trim it edit it – use this free download
It does so without changing the quality

Then save the file to your hard disk or mp3 player

Most of these youtube video oldies are made from the original 45 or stereo album – so you are getting rare opportunity to get the vinyl sound

of course you can still use this for old comedy programs or podcasts

Hmm I get a "server not found" message when trying to access converttube.com... it sounded interesting...

there are other online options – when one exceeds it bandwidth
