If you use firefox and I cant see any reason why you wouldn't here is a good add on DownloadHelper - Media download Firefox extension

I'm sure someone told me you can just put mp3 in front of the URL or somesuch.

Because Chrome is quicker.

Sorry I don't know how to do it with chrome though.

Just drag the link over to your desk top.

Very much this. Easily the most elegant solution.

Don't currently use firefox, not sure what's on my son's laptop though.

I've used this and it does the job!

I use a thing called Cucusoft YouTube Mate. Also does the job.

Zamzar.com
You just copy and paste the URL from you tube etc and it emails you the file in whatever format you choose.

I highly recommend keepvid.com as well.

This is the best! Use it all the time.

It is possible to enter URL at KeepVid: Download and save any video from Youtube, Dailymotion, Metacafe, iFilm and more!, then right-click & save from resulting options..

or download the (free) Internet Download Manager: the fastest download accelerator program - this is quite natty, as can resume interrupted downloads, too..

Real Player will do it.
So will the youtube downloader /converter. Both are freeware
