my mp3 player is my cell phone. I've watched a few videos on how to do this and just don't get it.
Is there a simple way to do this?

1. Turn on your favorite mp3 recorder while you play the vid.

The recorder built right into windows will record it as a giant .wav file - but your mp3 player will probably play that too.

2. connected the phone and started the vid.

Not working.

4. It might not be the most efficient way,

but I use RealAudio player to download the video from Yahoo then use RA to convert it to a different format.

5. I use Download Helper with Firefox

It's pretty simple. After you download it for FF, when you go on the Youtube site, click on the Download and you, ll get options on how to save it (video types or MP3 only)...select the location to download and down.

For MP3 you will need to download LAME also.

10. Have you tried a video to mp3 converter?

You paste the video URL, click start, and it pulls the audio off the video as an mp3 for you to download.

11. Free Studio 5 is an excellent choice

I use it on all my Windows machines. Its a package that has around 50 or so audio/video conversion tools that integrate quite well into your browser. Lots of options too you can tweak. Very clean running.

You can also just install their standalone youtube to mp3 converter if you don't want the whole package.

A couple caveats. Opt out of the install of yet another toolbar, other free software or change search/homepage settings. Don't opt to pay for the sooper dooper PRO version. Free is good enough.

12. Extract audio from You Tube video

Try to use applications like Audacity, but if you want to extract audio in an easier way, Streaming Audio Recorder is another good choice.
You just need to play the video and then click the button “on” to begin to extract the audio from it. It has a converting function so you can transfer audio files to mp3 player or other portable devices.
It is convenient, I do like it.
