YouTube Playlist Converter 1.0

YouTube has been, hands down, the best place for me to find music these days. I´ve spent many hours putting together my playlists and combing through the site for the obscure kinda music that I love. The only problem I had was I had no way to get that music off of YouTube and onto my iPod.There are a few single file converters out there but nothing that will grab my entire playlist, download it, and convert it into the ubiquitous mp3 all while I make myself a sandwich. This is why I created the playlist converter and I´ve found it so useful I´m sharing it with you.

Requires: Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.
