Run the headphone jack of your computer into your tape recorder and record the song. Then run the line out of your tape recorder into the mic jack of the computer, and re-record the song on the computer. From that, you can burn a CD.

| Use "Audacity" (free download) to record the sound of the YouTube video or song and save it to your computer then just use the file to burn to a CD as you would any other music file. |

You don't want to use the "MIC" jack input if you have a stereo signal as the MIC jack on a (Windows) desktop PC (and many laptops) is mono (the ring has 5VDC to run a computer condensor mic).
The Audacity recording program will work as long as you have a "System Mixer" (SoundBlaster calls this function "What You Hear") in your sound system.
If not, you can't capture streaming audio (what you are hearing on the PC speakers). You can try the "Total Recorder" program if you have Windows XP (I don't recall if it works for Vista/Windows 7).

If you're on a Mac, you could try the program Audio Hijack to record from YouTube, as well as any webstream audio on any site, no cables required.
Or, you could try this website:
http://zamzar.com/
Under #1, click on the "URL" link, then go to the YouTube page and copy the address. Paste it into the URL field on Zamzar, choose what format you want (probably AAC. M4A, MP3 or WAV) and enter your email address. It takes a little while, but you will get a link to the file emailed to you. Again, no cables or editing required! |

My error. I meant the Line In jack, which is usually color-coded blue.
My point is that people are often overlooking an "old school" way of doing things that works. If you own a tape recorder, you can record anything that comes out of your computer speakers and do anything you want with it.

| True, but often I find that the D/A converters and analog signal path in the computer's headphone out is not great quality. You're likely to pick up some noise along the way - in fact, on some computers you can hear a high-pitched whine in the signal when the mouse is moved! For non-critical applications it would be OK, but I like to keep my signal path as clean as possible. That's why I like Audio Hijack - it's all done in the digital domain, so no extra noise is induced, and you can record straight to full-res WAV all the way down to MP3. And even add effects if you want. There's probably something similar for the PC. And Zamzar is an easy, free way to do it. |

The "Total Recorder" program that I linked is probably equivalent to the Audio Hijack program for Mac's. It also does it all digitally.
But, Audacity or any recording program other than the Windows Recorder also does the same thing, digitally, if the PC has the "System Mixer/What You Hear" capability. |

I use my Goldwave program to record all material from my computer.It alows me to edit and EQ it as well.

I have used it and it works fine on my Vista machine. Not sure what all systems it works with though. |

| Or you can use a free program called Free YouTube to Mp3 Converter and just download the sound from YouTube videos, then burn the mp3's to a cd. |

Total Recorder runs very well on W7. I have both. TR costs about $17, I think. Plus free updates. It works real well.(for me)
It used to only SAVE as a WAVE file (but you could change it to Mp3). Now, you can opt for either wave or mp3. Saving a step, basically.

| Easy Youtube downloader will convert the Youtubes to any audio or video format you want. If you want to make a data cd, you can make them mp3s. If you want to make an audio cd, yuo can make them wavs and then burn away.... |
