Here’s a question we received a while ago: how to extract audio from Youtube video? On some occassions, people don’t just watch youtube, they listen to it. Instead of having to load the video every time when you just want to listen to the music, you can extract a piece of audio file from the youtube video. Instructions in this post will guide you on how to extract audio from a FLV formatted video, and how to download video in FLV format from Youtube (so that you can extract the audio from it).

If you already have a FLV file and want its audio to be extracted

Most of the FLV video players (or whatever video players that support flv videos) we know, do not have any built in function to rip the audio from flv video. Here we’ll show you several tools that are specifically designed to do the extracting job for you.

FLV Audio Extractor

FLV Audio Extractor, as what its name implies, is simple tool that lets you extract audio from any flv formatted video. It supports batch extraction which means you can extract more than just 1 video at a time. All extracted audios will be in MP3 format. It is a freeware, so you can download and use it legally for free. It supports Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP.

FLV Extract

FLV Extract is a portable and simple-to-use freeware that can rip audio from any flv file you drag and drop onto it. It will begin the extraction automatically when you give it a flv file. With this software, not only you can extract audio, but you can also choose to extract video, timecodes and audio at a same time from a flv file. Its only weak point is that it doesn’t support batch extraction. You will have to repeat the extraction if you have multiple files to be extracted. It supports Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP.

Flash Flv MP3 Converter is also one of the best extractors with funky interface that can extract audio (and save it in MP3 format) from a FLV video. The best part of this software is that it enables you to extract audio from a certain segment of your choice from a flv video. It also allows your to set the audio channel and audio bitrate of the audio that is to be extracted. It supports Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP.

If you haven’t downloaded any flv video yet, here’s how you can download video from Youtube

There’re lots of tools you can use to download videos from Youtube. Most of these tools also support other video sites like Hulu, Dailymotion, Metacafe, Megavideo, MySpace Video, Yahoo! Video, etc. Two of such tools we recommend are SaveVid.com and KeepVid.com. Both of them are online based downloader. You just have to enter a video link and click the download button. The service provided by these sites are completely free. So if you come across any site that requires you to pay for either downloading their videos or using their service, do not pay anything to them.

Update: Rip Audio From Youtube Online

Thanks to an anonymous tipster, we get to know this site ListenToYoutube.com which is able to do the extraction for you online without you having to install any extractor software. To extract audio from youtube, simply go to ListenToYoutube.com, enter the Youtube URL you wish to extract the audio from, and then click Go. As soon as the magical extraction is complete, a download link will be available for you. You can even choose to extract standard quality audio or high quality audio. To do so, select either standard or high quality before clicking Go.
