Feb 20, 2016 at 10:33 comment added nidunc @MarinaDunst That sound may be emitted by your computer, but the source it still the video. It doesn't matter which device the sound comes out of - what matters is the source, which in this case is a YouTube video. It doesn't matter whether you're using one of the various "Convert YouTube to mp3" websites, or whether you're recording the audio and converting it afterwards - ultimately the sound still comes from the same source: the YouTube video. Thus, both ways go against YouTube's terms of service. And yes, recording the sound of a TV show is copying (the sound of) that TV show.

Aug 20, 2015 at 15:05 comment added Marina Dunst Hm, could well be, but my understanding is that if I downloaded a video and made a copy of it, that's copying. I'm just recording the sound my computer emits while the video is playing. If record a sound of a TV show via TV speakers does it mean I'm copying that TV show? I'll do some more research.
Aug 20, 2015 at 9:32 comment added Tymric Concerning the legality issue, what you're doing is no less illegal than downloading, so you might as well save yourself the trouble and try a downloader. The terms of service clearly say: You shall not copy, reproduce, distribute, transmit, broadcast, display, sell, license, or otherwise exploit any Content [...]. I think recording falls under the copy or reproduce umbrella terms
Aug 20, 2015 at 9:30 comment added Tymric Could you give your sound card specs? If it has an audio input, you could try connecting it to the speaker output via such a cable
Aug 18, 2015 at 15:06 comment added Marina Dunst Because when I just record the sound while the video is playing in my browser the video itself is still an online experience as per Youtube user agreement and it is not being manipulated or used directly to extract the sound. It is not what I think is legal or illegal, it is what the user agreement says into which you enter anytime you visit YT.
Aug 16, 2015 at 9:47 comment added user416 And if you are sure converting YT video to mp3 it is illegal, why do your method is legal?
Aug 16, 2015 at 9:46 comment added user416 an old PC How about specifying that? Please edit your question and include OS, price you are willing to pay, etc. meta.softwarerecs.stackexchange.com/questions/336/…
Aug 16, 2015 at 4:08 comment added Marina Dunst But it's illegal, youtube was designed as an online experience and downloading videos is illegal, I know there are services that convert YT videos into mp3, but I don't know how legal is that, I'm pretty sure it's illegal.
Aug 16, 2015 at 2:37 comment added meisyal Why did you do the hard way? You can download the .mp3 version of the video instead. Application/program like that exists out there.
