An iTunes trick.

Okay, so you can watch full-length videos in iTunes now, right? Here is a way you can get those movies to your hard drive, and then convert them to the MP3. (I'm not sure about posting this, don't want word to get back to Apple and find this service disabled. I really do like having the videos up there.) 1. Watch the video. You'll have a copy in your cache. 2. Open Terminal. 3. Go to /tmp/501/TemporaryItems 4. There is a file there, QTPluginTemp...(with some numbers attached). 5. Type in cp QTPluginTemp ~/Desktop/NEWFILENAME.mov 6. Go to your desktop. You'll see the video there. 7. Go to iTunes. Add to Library. 8. Add movie. 9. Select movie, choose convert to mp3. 10. That's it, you're done.
