Can't figure out how to convert webm's to MP3 yet but I did find out you can download podcasts with it if you can't find the download link and it converts them straight to MP3 but you have to rename them to something that makes sense. When you use youtube-dl "link" just make sure you are in your desired folder in the terminal prompt
Just use one of many free YT -> MP3 services available for free. Here's one:http://www.listentoyoutube.com/

Rather not. Haven't looked at how to reformat too closely but it should be fairly simple

Japan, South Korea drive global bitcoin prices as retail investor pile in

The rally appeared to have been driven by new buying from smaller retail investors, suggesting bitcoins are increasingly viewed among the general investing public as an alternative asset class much like gold, analysts said.

“There were some people that made a big profit in a short time and it got more media attention. Then even people that hadn’t known about virtual currencies began coming in, thinking it can be a way to make big money in a short time,” said Kim Jin-hyeong, an official at Coinone, a South Korean cryptocurrency services provider.

Bobby Lee, CEO of BTCC in Shanghai, one of the world’s largest bitcoin exchanges, said the global macroeconomic environment, which has seen sustained low interest rates, was conducive to investments in alternative assets like gold, silver and bitcoin.

Remind me again what bitcoin is supposed to be: is it a currency or is it some speculative investment? Because these bitcoin fags keep hyping it like it's an investment, but there's no intrinsic worth to any of them and they don't produce a damned thing. I'd rather buy Walmart and Union Pacific stock than that.

I'd suggest that, if you don't really understand the difference of purpose between currency and a speculative investment, then maybe don't play.

1. Bitcoin ain't money.

2. As soon as it becomes a nuisance in any manner to the Fed, it will be declared more illegal than Walter White's Blue Sky overnight. Not only will it be worthless, the feds will roll your ass up for even talking about it.

Pretty risky speculation.
