Awesome! This is a great service; I've often wondered why YouTube doesn't offer this on its own?

Thanks, I saw the gifyoutube one and made this. I was reluctant to share though because I was afraid they'd shut it down.

Nice idea!

I'm not sure about the legal issue here though. If I see it correctly, you are downloading the songs to your server and serve the file from there. A lot of content that is uploaded is often times illegal, so you might be charged for distributing illegal content (illegal as in copyright).

What I'm also wondering. How come the parsing takes so long? I know other services that are a lot faster. Is it just the speed limit of the server itself?

Really, you have? How about because hours of music is illegally uploaded to their site every day?

WOW, thank you so much. There are lot of underground DJs on YouTube who upload their remixes and you can't find them anywhere else on the internet. Downloading the YouTube video and extracting the sound is the only way to preserve their work and listen to it offline.

This makes things so much easier. Thank you.

YouTube is a registered trademark of Google Inc.

I'm afraid, you could? run into legal issues by using the word "YouTube" in your domain name.

Meta: The headline makes no sense to me at all. Perhaps "Shown HN: Replace youtube.com with soundyoutube.com for any video to get just the sound."
