Download YouTube songs easily
August 26th, 2010 - Mac OS X, Utilities

Evom is a great free app that converts video and lets you easily download any flash movies from the web. The interface is dead simple, just drag a URL or file into the app and the video will download or convert for you.
Downloading YouTube songs with Evom
Now here’s what I think is the best part about the app: you can easily download any YouTube video and just save the audio track as an mp3, letting you play it in iTunes. This is great when you find a video with a song that you love but you can’t track it down otherwise, which is often the case with more obscure music.
Here’s how to download and convert a YouTube video to a song:
- Drag the YouTube video URL into Evom
- Select ‘iTunes’ and click on ‘Save as audio only (mp3)’
- Click on “Convert”
Evom will then download the video from YouTube, and then extract and convert the audio to MP3 format and automatically import it into iTunes.
Yes, you can download YouTube videos to your Mac with just Safari, but Evom is nice because it will also convert the video file for you to a format that is compatible with iTunes and thus your iPhone, iPad, or whatever.

Evom is actually much more than just a way to download YouTube videos and songs, it will convert and save most video formats you throw at it. It’s a great app, simple to use, and free.
You can download Evom here, highly recommended!




If you’re looking for a simple stopwatch menubar timer for Mac OS X, look no further than 


Need to access the current Finder directory immediately within the Terminal? Get cdto, it’s one of those must-have apps for anyone who’s constantly switching between the command line and the Finder. Installing cdto is simple, just download the app and place it somewhere in your Applications or Utilities folder, then drag the app directly into your Finder toolbar. 

DeskLickr is a fun little app that sits in your menubar and pulls images from Flickr to set them as your desktop picture. Basically you just specify how often you want your wallpaper changed, and a couple search tags, and DeskLickr does it’s job quietly in the background. This is great for anyone who gets tired of having the same background picture constantly.
