We are starting to see utilities which make the best use of the media available on YouTube. The FireFox extension we are discussing today is one such example; it lets you download any YouTube video as MP3.

All you have to do is install the plugin and it will simply add a link to the video page on YouTube. Click on the link to download MP3, it takes you to the plugin site and lets you download the MP3 version of the video.

Following image shows how the link is embedded into every page on YouTube to download the MP3 format of the video.

Once you click on that link it takes you to the plugin site and offers the download in an MP3 format.

It can’t get any simpler than this can it? The only thing I’d like to see improve in the service is the time it takes to convert the video into an MP3.

Click here to download the YouTube to MP3 plugin and here to visit the plugin website. The plugin is in the experimental stage so users need to loging to Mozilla site before downloading it.
