Yep - Google "youtube to mp3 converter"

Thanks. Bought myself some time because has some built in generic songs. Kid wants to male YouTube videos, which means i get to make them as he talks about roblox.

Napster or Limewire were my go tos but it’s been a hot minute or two.

kid wants to make a video and put music over it. He got some vtech kid cam for christmas.

Does the kid have all rights to use such songs in that manor? Teaching him to be a copyright pirate early.


Otherwise the YouTube Copryright police may come bust the door down at 2 in the morning?

Or you may receive a friendly letter from some one in LA or New York requesting you pay royalties or take down and delete the video.

If you can get a invite to IPtorrents...

i cant even remember what came first now; kazaa or napster?

Napster was pretty much finished before Kazaa even came around.

But before all that the whole "warez" scene had been active for years. People had been trading software via usenet and IRC since at least the early 90s, so when the first software mp3 encoder came out in like '95 people naturally started sharing mp3's via these methods. AOL was obviously really big at the time, and there were several mp3 chat rooms where people operated mp3 bots. You would just type commands to list the available songs, type another command for the one you want and it would pop into your inbox for download. The song selection was very limited. Around the same time people were operating IRC bots that did the same thing. Then came Hotline/KDX servers that made things a little more intuitive.

THEN Napster came in and blew everything else away.

No, Im not posting these videos for public viewing. They will be unlisted and you have to have the link to view. Youtube studio has some generic songs built in, but I was reading that you could use some music if you had a subscription to youtube music(which I do).

Lil dude woke up at like 11pm last night to ask me how many likes/comments/subscribers we had.

FTP servers were in there somewhere too. That's where I got tons of Mp3's back in the day. Audiogalaxy was the search engine back in the day I believe.

do you even archie, jughead and veronica? gopher? listservs?

back when you had to be a REAL MAN to play on the internet.

eta i ran an FTP site for years at the community college i worked at (in IT department) approved by our VP for a fairly well known product. The entire world that used this application went to MY ftp site to get uncompiled code samples and media files. I mean it was THE site. I ran this thing for about 5-6 years before this company finally got off their arse and built a website in the late 1990s even though their multimedia product was designed to work..ON THE frickING WEB.

you know what i got for doing it? not a fricking thing. not even so much as a thank you from [large a-hole company] for providing a service that made this software so much more popular and useful because of the burgeoning developer community centered around the FTP site.

bitter? i'm not bitter. maybe just a fricking t-shirt would have been nice though. i wasn't doing it to make money; i literally slaved over it as a labor of love and being young and single sometimes i wouldn't leave the office the entire weekend working around the clock on shite.

when i took it down i archived the files but effectively this resource was lost to the world & the sands of time.

cough *macromedia* cough.

Back in the day downloading a full usenet feed over modem would take longer than overnight. There was real power in deciding which groups to accept to shorten the download time.
