Video DownloadHelper can download videos from YouTube (or other video sites) and convert the audio to mp3 (or other formats) using ffmpeg (the default). Pick the mp4 (high quality / high definition -- these are format 18 or 22) videos off of YouTube to get the highest quality audio (128 kbps).
Ah, this brings me back...
Update: Even better, now that Lala, et al are providing music streaming straight from a Google search, one need not even bother with YouTube -- faster download/conversion, and same (better?) quality.

New MTV Video Site's Censorship -- Bleeping out Names of File-Sharing Software
MTV has just launched a new online video site. While I won't go through the trouble of mocking the site (or the TV network) for its irrelevance (please visit this slashdot thread for plenty of that), it is worth noting that it does have one feature that other video sites do not: in-video censorship! As this observant slashdot commenter says:

I was perusing this yesterday, and came across the Weird Al video "Don't Download This Song". One line in the original song goes:
o/~ Like Morpheus or Grokster or Limewire or KaZaA o/~
But the version on the new MTV site goes:
o/~ Like *beep* or *beep* or *beep* or *beep* o/~
Does anyone know if it was aired on MTV/VH1 this way, or is this unique to the web version?
