Question about Youtube

Does anyone know if it is possible to use only the music off of a youtube video without showing the video itself? I'd love to use the music of a video I found but would like to show it with my own pictures. If anyone has any hints please let me know! Thanks!

Lindsay,

I think that it would be hard to play the song directly from the video and it might not sound good (I actually don't even think it is possible) but if you know what the song is you can download it to your computer from ITunes for .99 cents. If you are not sure exactly what it is called you can type the lyrics into google and it will probably tell you the song and artist. Hope this helps.

Just so you know, iTunes songs won't play in Windows Movie Maker in their downloaded form. Students in previous classes have found that burning the song to disc removes the DRM (digital rights management) code that stops the song being played within Windows Movie Maker and have been able to then copy the song from the disk and import it into WMM.
