Hi Bert, Am happy for you that it worked! Yes have reread the tutorial mentioned tried again and no, no joy I'm afraid! I could bring my laptop to work on Monday and ask IT to assist me or go to NCBI by appointment and see what they think might be wrong! I would prefer to use Yourtube all being well but Youtube using the same steps does work for me however; gremlins for me with Yourtube! I'm happy that all my security is correct and up-to-date! Thanks for letting me know how you got on with that programme. I will leave it at that unless anyone has any thing to add till I get this resolved. Thanks all for all your patience with this!

Hello Tony, I followed the steps in Paul's short tutorial and it works like a dream. I created a folder on my hard drive giving the name Youtube, and all my selected tracks are downloaded in to my folder I created.

Hi Paul, afternoon, Sorry about all this bother but really I did everything correctly so it is strange that it does not work for me at least and one other lister but not with Yourtube! No not saying anyone that you are wrong only that it didn't work for me although as I say in Youtube it did; believe me I gave it more time than I had working late on it even! Now Is there something about the free converter inserting the info in the edit box automatically? Perhaps I'll try that in a while, coming back to it fresh so to speak! As I say I could too give you a ring at a mutually convenient time as I'm determined to get this sorted; too enthusiastic me for learning particularly audio you know! (smiile)! Hate repeating myself folk but again it doesn't work for me with Yourtube but does with Youtube but have no doubt the mod's info is correct too; clear! Thanks a lot and have a great weekend!

Hi Tony, Here is the way I download my songs: 1. Go into YourTube and type in a song name. 2. Go down to the results and press enter on my choice of song. 3. Use keys, "Alt + P" to begin playing the tune. 4. While its playing I press keys, "Alt + D" then press home key to go to the beginning of the link in the address bar. 5. Use keys, "Control + end" to select the address and "control + C" to copy. 6. Open up the "Free YouTube To MP3" converter, when it opens up I am straight away in an edit box unless there is a new update available and the message "Do you want to download the new version, Yes, No" gets in the way. In this case I dismiss the message and then paste into the available edit box my web address 7. I then press the tab key followed by shift + tab back into the edit box to make sure that my web address pasted correctly and if it has then I shift + tab again to the download button where I press spacebar. At this point the song begins to download. -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter. We are a community of 7 million users fighting spam. SPAMfighter has removed 1114 of my spam emails to date.
