Over the last few months I’ve been ripping tracks off YouTube using Audio Hijack Pro. The sound quality isn’t the greatest but it’s pretty easy to do, and the selection is just ridiculous. It’s funny how much better YouTube’s related video section works compared to like the Genius Sidebar (which I’ve never used, but fuck it, how good could it be?).
Case in point. From the comments in the Mass Appeal link from my last post, I found at that the 30 second clip at the end was MC Ren’s “Final Frontier” (that flips the “Bridge is Over” beat), and a minute later I’ve got the track. Ill shit.
Plus there are dudes like this guy who just crank out remixes and put them up on their little YouTube channel. I guess I too could end up just like this eighteen year old from Canada. Yes I realize that this is exactly what teenage kids use MySpace for, and I’m sure you’re all making fun of me. Screw you guys.
On an unrelated note, Scratch Live can’t play back .m4p (iTunes protected audio) files, so I think that’s the final nail in that particular coffin.
