I have been meaning to share two tips that have changed my life and will yours as well. So, put your game-face on and get ready for what I am about to tell you.
First, converting youtube music videos to music files. This is legal, easy and genius! Here is the step by step:
1. Find the youtube music video for the song you are looking for.
2. Copy the URL for this youtube video.
3. Open a new browser window and go to this website: http://www.video2mp3.net/
4. Paste the youtube video URL in the bar in the middle of the screen.
5. Click "convert" (note: "Standard Quality" is fine).
6. Wait about 10 seconds and then click on "skip this ad" (in the upper right corner) to continue the conversion.
7. When it completes it should download automatically. If not, just follow the simple directions to download it.
8. Drag the file into your itunes and wa-la!
Second, accessing the NYTimes. Because I am a student in debt I have no pangs about sharing this. However, for those of you with a salary and conscience, it should be said, that you should seriously weigh the effects and consider whether you are contributing to newspaper extinction or if want to support newspapers and good journalism and pay the subscription. Ok, now that I have hopefully guilted those who needed it and have that bit out of the way, let's get on with it (also, we should all thank E who is a force in her own right and figured this out!).
1. Click on the NYTimes article you want to read.
2. When you click on it, about 3 seconds after it loads, a window will pop up prompting you to sign up and pay.
3. Instead, go up to the URL bar and find the "?" toward the end of the URL.
4. Erase the "?" and everything after it. (For example: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/27/world/asia/pakistan-says-nato-helicopters-kill-dozens-of-soldiers.html?hp&gwh=E582BB9221F071EE8CA5ACCCCA3CEAB1)
5. Press enter.
6. Wa-la! Read your article!
That's all for now. You're welcome!
