6 Ways to Convert YouTube to MP3

We all know that YouTube is a video share website that accepts only video formats. But for me, the most visited Channel is Music where all kinds of newly released songs or hot songs are there. I like the top 10 list for I can find out which songs are most popular on YouTube, or probably over the world.

If you're like me who want to get these songs, not the video, for playing on MP3 player or iPod, the following introduced methods will help you to convert YouTube to MP3 audio.

1. Youtube-mp3.org

YouTube-mp3.org is a great online service for converting YouTube video to MP3 audio. You do not need an account, the only thing you need is a YouTube URL. Just paste the YouTube URL and click "Convert Video", very soon you will get the download link of the convert MP3 file. All the conversions will be performed in high quality mode with a bit rate of at least 128 kbps.

This website is really great and in case it is prohibited someday, below I will list more such online websites to convert YouTube to MP3 in cloud.

2. listentoyoutube.com

Another website to extract the audio from YouTube video as a downloadable MP3. All you need is a YouTube URL, and the website will transfer the video to MP3 and give you a link to download the audio file. The conversion is much slower than YouTube-mp3.org, but it offers you choice to change the output MP3 quality.

3. youtubemp3.tv

This website has not only much better interface, but also additional functions. As you can here in the screenshot, you can choose which part of the video you want to convert to MP3 and select the output MP3 quality as high as 192 kbps.

4. vidtomp3.com

This website has very fast converting speed too and you can also choose the output MP3 quality. Besides, it supports to convert MegaVideo to MP3.

5. YouTube to MP3 Add-on for Firefox

This is Firefox add-on created by http://www.video2mp3.net. The advantage of using Firefox add-on is that you can directly convert YouTube video to MP3 on the YouTube page. After installed the add-on, there will be two additional buttons above the YouTube video: one is standard quality and the other is high quality.

6. Download YouTube video and convert to MP3

Of course you can download the YouTube video to your computer and then convert to MP3 video. This method is good for those who want both the video and the MP3 audio of the YouTube video. See detail in this article.

Microsoft Surface: Office on Tablet Directly

The announcement of Microsoft Surface gives me the thought that finally there is one tablet that I can use to take place of my laptop.

For a long time, people are arguing whether the tablet could take place of desktop or laptop computers. Just iPhone, released in 2007, open the new era of Smartphones and left cell phone king Nokia behind. The first iPad, released in 2010, marked the beginning of real portable computing. Tablet, ever since its debuting, is considered as a portable computer. The iPad tablet has almost all the hardware that a computer should have: CPU, RAM, memory, graphics card, USB and better high-density screen. Usually tablet is operated with your fingers on the touch screen, ever since Asus Eee Pad Transformer, equip your tablet with a keyboard dock becomes popular. The new Microsoft Surface originally comes with a beautiful keyboard.

Let’s take a look at what Microsoft Surface looks like:


Microsoft Surface really looks wonderful, but what really attracts me is the full compatibility of desktop Windows programs. That means we are able to play desktop games, use Adobe Photoshop, view PowerPoint with all original effects and more. A previous survey indicates that over 40% percent of people would like to see Microsoft Office running on tablets. This function would help a lot for businessmen, teachers and students. I have seen a lot of students ask whether they should buy a laptop or tablet for school and they want it to run Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Now I can suggest Microsoft Surface.

Microsoft Surface will have two editions: the Standard edition is running Windows RT and the Pro edition is running Windows 8. Only the Pro edition can run all the desktop Windows programs. The Microsoft Surface RT can only run Metro applications and it has a special version of Microsoft Office – Microsoft Office 2013 RT. Below is the differences between the two Microsoft Surface editions:

	Surface for Windows RT	Surface for Windows 8 Pro
OS	Windows RT	Windows 8 Pro
Light	676g	903g
Thin	9.3mm	13.5mm
Clear	10.6-inch ClearType HD Display with 16:9 aspect ratio. Corning Gorilla Glass 2 technology also included.	10.6-inch ClearType HD Display with 16:9 aspect ratio. Corning Gorilla Glass 2 technology also included.
Processor	ARM-based by NVIDIA	Intel Core Ivy Bridge
Energized	31.5 W-h battery	42 W-h battery
Connected	microSD, USB 2.0, Micro HD Video, 2×2 MIMO antennae	microSDXC, USB 3.0, Mini DisplayPort Video, 2×2 MIMO antennae

In order to view PowerPoint on Microsoft Surface RT with all original effects, you may need to convert PowerPoint to video first.

Poem 3: Father's Day


Over the years

As we grow old,

We remember our father

So brave and bold.


In the garden,

Leaning on the plow,

He would listen to me;

I see him now.



He would give advice

And understand;

He was always there

To lend a hand.


God made fathers

Strong and firm,

For he knew our lives

Would have great concerns.


So he gave us fathers

To teach us to pray,

And guide our lives,

And show us the way.


So on his day

Let's take the time

To say "Thanks, dad.

I'm glad you're mine."

Poem 4: A Little Girl Needs Daddy

A little girl needs Daddy

For many, many things:

Like holding her high off the ground

Where the sunlight sings!

Like being the deep music

That tells her all is right

When she awakens frantic with

The terrors of the night.

Like being the great mountain

That rises in her heart

And shows her how she might get home

When all else falls apart.

Like giving her the love

That is her sea and air,

So diving deep or soaring high

She'll always find him there.

Poem 5: Fathers Can Be Solitary Mountains

Fathers can be solitary mountains,

All their love rock-like, steep, and strong.

Though warm and caring, somehow they belong

Halfway home to mothers' bubbling fountains.

Each of us needs love that knows no quarter,

Reminding us of bonds that cross a border,

Strengthening our sense of right and wrong.

Poem 6: Parent's Murphy's Law

1. Parenting is a 24-hour-a-day job with no salary, no raises, no promotions and very few

vacations.

2. Parents are responsible for everything that happens to their children.

3. Guilt and self-blame are occupational hazards.

4. Parents don't get worker's compensation or any other fringe benefits.

5. Parents can never retire -- even when their kids ask them to.

6. Parents "don't get no respect" --until they die--and then it's too late.

Poem 7: Happy Father's Day


Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's day means more

than have a happy day

It means i love you first of all

Then thanks for all you do

It means you mean a lot to me

and that I honor you.

I love you forever

'cause you're really clever


Even though i puss and shove

I will still show all my love

Poem 9: My Daddy


My Daddy is a mountain

My Daddy is a sea

My Daddy smiles again and again

I love my Daddy

And I know he loves me

'cause my Daddy is a ray of lite

that warms a winters' eve

My daddy is very special to me

I could not live without my daddy

as he could not live without me.

Poem 10: Important Dad

Dad, I remember when I skinned my knee,

You chased away my tears;

If things were hard in school for me,

You helped me through my fears.

When I was old enough to drive a car,

You patiently taught me how;

Your loving care was my guiding star;

You cared then, and you still care now.

So on Father's Day I'll say a prayer,

To thank the Lord that you were there.

How to Print Multiple Slides on One Paper in PowerPoint 2010

Usually we would view PowerPoint documents directly using the PowerPoint program. But for some occasions you may need to print the PowerPoint on paper. Some asked this question on Yahoo Answer:

I have created a PowerPoint for my presentation next Tuesday and I want to print the PowerPoint out as handout for the audiences. To save the papers, how can I print multiple PowerPoint slides on one paper?

PowerPoint allows you to print the PowerPoint slides out on paper and offers you options to choose for the way you want. In fact, it is quite easy. We will still discuss it in detail for those people who have these troubles. We will take PowerPoint 2010 as the example.

Step 1: Open the PowerPoint file, and click File → Print.

The Print settings of PowerPoint 2010 are listed here:

Step2: Select which PowerPoint slides you want to print. Click on the drop marker of Print All Slides, in the drop-down list, you can choose:

Print All Slides: The entire PowerPoint slides will be printed.

Print Selection: Only print the selected slides. You need to click Ctrl and select the slides you want to print and then come to this Print setting page.

Print Current Slide: Print the slide you are viewing right now.

Custom Range: Just type in the slide number to choose the slides to print, like: 1, 5, 9, 10, 15, 19, with a comma between two numbers.

Step 3: Select how many slides on one page. Click on the drop marker of 1 Slide, in the drop-down list, you can choose:



To print multiple slides on one paper, you should select one from the Handouts group.

Frame Slides: A frame effect on the slides.

Scale to Fit Paper: Suggested to choose to make the slides on paper larger maybe.

High Quality: Not clear on may compute, you can select this option.

Step 4: Portrait Orientation or Landscape Orientation.

What's the difference?

Portrait Orientation:

Landscape Orientation:

Step 5: Color style.

Step 6: If you have printer connected, click the Print icon on the top to start your printing.

Besides print PowerPoint to papers, I think a more green way would be better by converting PowerPoint to PDF or convert it to DVD or video that will avoid the waste of papers.
