It's what you do after you download the songs that matters...
all must be edited in so many ways to conform to performance standards..

Aside from downloading MP3s for break music, how do you guys use this?

All I do with them is play them on break, or use them to learn the songs. I don't use them for background while I play.

Gary stock download songs, or backing tracks let's just say they need mucho work...that's from any source received..

Donny, my response was essentially, all that editing don't mean $hit if you cannot download the song because of glitches in the download program. And, most of the songs downloaded from you tube, at least for me, are used to learn the song - I have never used an MP3 on the job other than for very short breaks. So two to five minutes of an original downloaded from you tube and converted to an MP3 really doesn't amount to anything.

Now, if you are doing DJ or KJ work, and require the highest quality, you would likely not be getting the songs from You Tune in the first place - most likely you would be purchasing them from an online source, and they, most likely, wouldn't require editing, at least I would hope they wouldn't. And, if you were to download a song from You Tube, edit that song, then use it for a DJ job, you would be breaking the law, get sued or fined - not a good thing.

All the best,

Gary

I think we are talking about two different things, or purposes here.
I'm just referring to hearing a song on YouTube that I like and would like to have on my own computer. I simple copy the URL to the program, and it automatically converts it and I can download it as an MP3 to my computer. It is the original recording, not tracks or intros or parts!

I use a Google Chrome add on extension..
Just click on the icon copy the URL and convert.
