I have searched and read this board and others, and I am confused on what program would be the easiest for me to do the following.

I need to extract audio only from a few clips to then edit in garageband. I believe I want to use .wav since the application I am going to eventually use them in works with wav best. There were many suggestions here, but I was hoping someone could give me one or two for my use.

THANKS!
 
I use audacity to copy any type of audio off the web and then export it to any audio format, mp3, wav, aiff etc.
 
Install ClickToFlash, right click the video, Open in QuickTime, File, export, Sound to aiff or wav.
 
Howto "download" audio only from Youtube vids:

Code:
> youtube-dl -t [B]--extract-audio[/B] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdXesX6mYUE

youtube-dl is a small command-line program to download videos from YouTube.com and a few more sites. It requires the Python interpreter, version 2.x (x being at least 5), and it is not platform specific. It should work in your Unix box, in Windows or in Mac OS X. It is released to the public domain, which means you can modify it, redistribute it or use it however you like.

It's included in homebrew (http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew)

Homebrew is the easiest and most flexible way to install the UNIX tools Apple didn't include with OS X.
