Have saved some video clips & would like to record just the
music off of them onto CD's. Also would like to record just
the music off of places like You Tube directly.

Tried Any Sound Recorder, could only get static on playback,
probly not doing it right.

Any recommendations?

Free is fine (of course :-), don't mind paying reasonable for a good one that's
easy to use.

Thanks

I really don't like to send my email to someone I don't know!

That was apparently the only way to get it.

Got to the download link but it won't download - ??
Got scripts allowed, etc. Just nothing happening.
