Computer question

[Chrome Homura]

Can you take a music video or AMV on your hardrive and convert it to mp3 or such format? I have some awsome AMVs on my computer, and I want the songs on my MP3 player without downloading/purchasing it from some place i'd have to pay money. (I could'nt find it anywhere for free.)

Please help!

Re: Computer question

you have two options:

a) find a video/audio editing suite program, and isolate the audio. render as mp3.

b) download the song they used.

assuming a dsl or faster connection:

option a may take you at least a day.
option b may take you at least 10 minutes.
Do thee math.

Re: Computer question

Do a Google search with this:

-inurl:htm -inurl:html intitle:"index of" mp3 "SONG OR ARTIST HERE"

Easiest way to find MP3s without using a file sharing program.

Re: Computer question

Option b is impossible for me. I can't find the song anywhere.
What kind for option A would you suggest?
(If there are any free ones, that is.)

Duuude.
Ok, i'm not trying to sound like an ass. Just hear me out.

I listen to bands that have as few as 13 listeners on last.fm.
I know pretty obscure stuff.
And yet I have no trouble finding it.

What song is it? It cant be that hard to find. You can find *anything* online. Seriously.

(edit: to my knowledge, there arent any free ones. Audacity might do it, look into that, but I think its just an audio editor. I could be wrong. Regardless.... what song is this?)

OK, well, regardless. I sleep now.
Get soulseek. www.slsknet.org.
Make sure you get the latest full version, not the latest test version.
Add the song to your wishlist.
Watch as you download it soon.
