BP4_VidToMP3

As promised in my last Web 2.0 blog post, here is yet another review of an awesome 2.0 tool that I hope to implement in my Action Research project for the EMDT program at Full Sail University!

Introducting VidToMP3...


This is a shortcut tool to export audio out of YouTube videos into MP3 format. Whether it is a song out of a music video, a speech by a political leader, or sound effects from a cartoon, collecting audio now just got easier. Imagine all the possibilities this has in store!

Just like RhymeZone, VidToMP3 activates several Multiple Intelligences as well, such as:

(A) Musical: Interns can download their own music, such as audio from past episodes of Schoolhouse Rock! to learn effectively or combine clips to create their own musical outlet or expression
(B) Linguistic: Interns can download audio into the form of an informative podcast, either to help them repetitively enhance their vocabulary and diction
(C) Logical: Interns can use logical and reasoning skills to demonstrate how to actually download their own audio files.

Just to refresh your memory, I use the word "Interns" instead of "Students", for I am applying my Action Research project at a workforce development and leadership training internship for inner-city adults.

So without further ado, here are the steps to learn how to use VidToMP3!

1) Find what YouTube video you want to convert to MP3. (Make sure it is Royal Free of course!)


2) Copy and Paste the YouTube link into VidToMP3:


3) Wait until the conversion is complete:


4) Download the file and create your masterpiece!


After I've collected all of the Audio Files that I've wanted with VidToMP3, I created a Public Service Announcement (PSA) via Adobe Audition with regards to inner-city gun violence. Check it out via YouTube! Mentorship Program PSA

I also want to apologize once more for not yet diving into collecting gems from the Billboard 100 Chart and report on its educational value and significance. I felt it was important to share these vital Web 2.0 tools to understand how you can not only collect music, yet APPLY music! :)

'Til next time,

  2. VidtoMP3 is a great tool. It would really come in handy when a person does not want the visual but the audio. You did a great job in linking the information to what we learned last month. Awesome post Shrav.
