hello everybody you ever had times when
you wanted to play music that you had on
iTunes
but you couldn't play it in any other in
any other music players because of the
copyright that's on the songs well I'm
going to show you today how you can get
away with getting these getting this
music from iTunes and remove the
copyright from it so you can listen to
it in any any player like foobar2000 or
Windows or whatever now there's kind of
a roundabout way but it's pretty much
the only way you're going to be able to
do it but anyway let's get started the
first thing you need to do is you need
to download audacity now audacity is
free it's a music music and sound
auditing program so just download that
and then what you need to do is I'm
using Windows 7
I'm turning Windows 10 you can probably
figure it out but you go to your control
panel
you go to your sound and under sound you
right-click this area here just
right-click it and do show disabled
devices and show disconnected devices
alright now go over to recording and
down here you will see stereo mix take
this stereo mix and do enable alright
and what you do unable just go back here
go to audacity start up your audacity
and then over here right here where it
says recording device go down to stereo
mix right there alright make sure this
is
to coordinates to stereo recording this
I have it on windows W ASP because it's
got the better sound alright now make
sure this is that forty eight thousand
you don't want it any higher than forty
eight thousand because players will have
issues playing it as fall and if you
wanted to burn it to a CD or whatever
enlist your car so your car stereo will
have trouble playing anything above that
alright after you've got that done go to
if you're using Windows you'll probably
have the realtek audio manager thing go
to your stereo mix now that you have it
enabled and make sure the default format
here is at 16-bit 48 you can do 24-bit
but as I said you're gonna have some
issues playing it in in some players I
know that 24-bit at forty eight thousand
Hertz won't play in my car stereo
don't touch the volume right here that's
a big a big thing because you're gonna
run you're gonna run into issues where
when you hear it when you hear it it's
gonna it's gonna kind of amplify the
sound a little bit so it's going to
sound kind of muddy in the background
that you know the sounds are gonna sound
muddy or it's gonna sound like it's
being played on really bad speakers that
can't handle the amount of power that's
going to them I'll show you know what I
mean
but anyway make sure you don't have any
equalizer or anything going because that
will come through on your recording make
sure the equalizer in iTunes isn't on
and then also make sure go to your
preferences and make sure you have your
crossfade off I put my sound enhancer
all the way
up and then I put the audio as Windows
audio session which is the W ASP which
is right here and then put it the
highest Duke that it will let you do it
and then you can do it 24 bits alright
because this is going to record a 16 bit
but that will make sure that the music
coming from iTunes is going to be a
higher it's going to be a very high
quality so that when you're recording
you'll get high quality alright so I'm
gonna show you show you how to do this
the easiest way what you want to do is
with audacity you want to use instead of
using your mouse to like click record
and then go over here and hit play use
your keyboard shortcut for audacity make
sure you have it selected in this press
R and it'll start recording and you know
have your cursor over the play button on
iTunes and so I'll just will do one and
I'll show you how to do it how it's done
[Applause]
[Music]
[Music]
okay right when it gets to one second I
want to stop your recording because
otherwise you'll get started getting the
next song into your recording oh yeah I
was I forgot to say when you start the
when you start the play of the song in
order to record what you want to do is
you want to you want to start it first
like this one you want to start it first
it's queued up push pause and then take
the slider and slide it all the way to
the beginning to the zero to the zero
marks right there that way you know
you're at the beginning of the song and
then when it gets Yossi right here when
it gets down to one second you want to
push stop on audacity alright now that
and now the next thing you do is you go
to file you go to export audio and then
you put the name of the song or whatever
which this one is down and save as type
I always save everything of mine is flat
because it is a lossless codec if you
don't know what the difference between
lossless and lossy codecs is mp3 is a
lossy codec and FLAC files are lossless
that means that when something when an
mp3 is played it cuts the highs and the
lows off of this off of the music
whereas in lossless like FLAC files it
will not cut off the highs and lows so
you hear more of the music you hear more
of the sound and it sounds way better
but the problem is that and the reason
why people use mp3 so often is because
the size of a flat file is pretty
substantial like this is twenty-seven
megabytes 427 megabytes for a flat file
and this is this song is like three
minutes long I believe yeah three
minutes 29 seconds so you come you see
if I have I think
I have some mp3 somewhere yeah like this
I think is an mp3 so deciding the mp3
files five megabytes so that's five
megabytes compared to 27 megabytes for
roughly the same size song but it's well
worth it anyway
this when to come into format options
down here go to level you do eight which
is the best you know and then bit 16-bit
you know cuz you want it to play in any
if you're only gonna play it on your
computer then you can have it 24 bits or
have it is or have the Hertz as high as
you want although having the higher
Hertz might actually cause Distortion
alright then you save and then it's
gonna ask you for the artist name this
is this is the id3 tagging is what is
what this is and this is how the this is
how the music players read read the what
the song title is and the and the artist
and the album is the id3 tags if you
didn't do any of this then it would just
save it and it would just have it
reduced to be a blank file and you
wouldn't know what it is
right title track down album title
hide-and-seek track number is probably -
I believe go to song info' it'll tell
you all the song info' everything right
here alright track is to year is 2012
you can put in the John run everything
and don't really matter but anyway don't
touch any of this stuff that's all you
need right there
and it's gonna do this that means it's
creating the file and right there it is
right here
now you just push play and it'll play on
any let's turn it down because I don't
want it really loud it'll play on any
music player you have that's the VLC
player let's open it with foo bar and
there is playing with blue bar so yeah
that's how it's done you can do with any
song make a playlist or whatever if you
have trouble with being able to stop it
before the song is over and you start
getting that you bleed in the other the
next song or whatever then just make a
new playlist of that just that one song
make sure you have the shuffle and the
repeat off and then when it stops when
the song stops it'll stop it it won't
try to play any other song and it won't
try to pre play the same song if that's
if you have those issues but anyway
that's how it's done and I hope you like
it oh also when you're done when you're
done recording the song or whatever
you'll find out if you try to move this
if you try to do anything with this
it'll lock up audacity and you won't be
able to turn it you won't be able to
shut it down without restarting your
computer because
it is in the stereo mix because that
right now this is inside of the audio
car this is not this is not an audio
file it is inside the audio card itself
so if you try to change this you're not
going to be able to it's going to lock
everything up so do not absolutely do
not touch any of this at all don't try
to change it don't try to shorten it
don't try to add stuff to it don't do
anything because this is not an audio
file it's not taking this from an audio
file this is taking it directly from the
sound card alright I can't stress that
enough all right
also when you're recording don't touch
anything up here you don't have to touch
anything
you do you only think you have to worry
about is what I told you the windows W
ASAP the stereo mix and the to stand the
stereo and make sure this is that
48-thousand do not touch anything else
all right because if you touched the
stuff and you messed things up don't
complain to me about it all right and
just don't touch anything else all right
and then go to file after you've done
the export whatever and do closed it's
gonna ask you if you want to save and
you don't and you say no cuz you've
already saved it and then it'll come up
with a brand new one and then you can
just start your next song you know and
you can do this you know cuz now iTunes
has where you can pretty much you'd you
buy into there you buy into their you
know their program whatever and then you
can get all the songs you want for free
on your computer you can download them
whatever and you play them on your
computer for free you don't even have to
pay for any of them you just have to pay
that like that yearly or whatever
monthly cost of like five bucks I think
is what it is whatever I can't remember
but anyway I know it's kind of I know
it's kind of you know you're not really
supporting the you're not really
supporting the artists by doing this you
know but the way I look at it is you
know you're saying you to iTunes
and their drm but I actually
purchased the CDs and stuff you know I
haven't purchased this one yet
but I I just this CD and I've purchased
quite a few of the CDs that's usually
what I do I purchase the CD and then
I'll rip them under my computer and
Aflac format and then I have to in order
to get into play in iTunes I have to
convert and convert them to m4a format
anyway so I hope you like like it I will
have I suppose I can put a link to
audacity in the description or whatever
but you can find it yourself it's not
that hard I mean it's free it's a free
free program and it's used a lot so
anyway thanks bye
