Who on earth would want some sort of horrible transcode of a transcode?
- fleitz 14y agoThe same sort of people who would watch 240p video.
- pwmanagerdied 14y agoYou're dating yourself. YouTube hasn't been limited to 240p videos for many years; they're rarer than 1080p videos these days.
- jps359 14y agoYou'd be surprised how many technology-illiterate people do these things.
- snookca 14y agoI admittedly have used these services to procure obscure tracks that aren't available via iTunes or other means. That band who did an a cappella cover? No download link on their site or anywhere else? Youtube to mp3.
- antihero 14y agoIn that case, it looks like the industry could much better fix the problem by providing legitimate means to get these tracks :)
- loudmax 14y agoYes, the audio quality of mp3s is much lower than a CD. This format will never catch on.
- duaneb 14y agoI don't know about transcodes, but there are often live recordings or rare recordings that I can only find on youtube.
- Splines 14y agoIf you grab the source video yourself you can demux the audio using ffmpeg (I've done this for some live performances that I wanted to listen to offline).
- slig 14y agoPeople that can't tell the diference between DVD quality and HD. People that listen to music using their crappy cellphone speaker.
- dpritchett 14y agoI used one to make a ringtone from a crowd reaction in a video gaming tournament video.
- lovskogen 14y agoStreet Fighter 2? :)
