Alternatively, you can simply select the link to the video in your Youtube searches, and right click for "copy link location". That works. In the online "youtube to mp3 convertor", there's already a link in the "convert video" box, which is probably their app for Firefox, so just make sure that edit box is empty before you paste your copied link into it. Everyone else probably knows this, but I thought that might be worth saying. The online convertor is at http://www.youtube-mp3.org I find that's very good, unless youtube or the licencee have placed a copyright restriction on it.
