Acquiring music from Youtube/Organizing your music

Step 1: Pick a Song you like.

Step 2: Go to YouTube and see if the song is available.

Step 3: Decide which version of the song is by the artist you want and does it sound clear.
Step 4: Click on your best option, highlight the URL, and then copy it.

Step 5: Paste the URL into the input box on http://www.youtube-mp3.org/.
Step 6: Click the CONVERT button.
Step 7: When you see Video successfully converted to mp3, click the DOWNLOAD link.

Step 8: If you are using Google Chrome browser, which I am the download will show up at the bottom of the screen.
Step 9: Right click on the down arrow and choose SHOW IN FOLDER.

Step 10: Locate the file in your Download folder.
Step 11: Highlight the file and right click on it.
Step 12: Click on PROPERTIES.

Step 13: Click on the DETAILS tap.
Step 14: You can highlight the Song Title and  Artist, and then COPY and PASTE them into the correct boxes.  These may not always show up so you might need to type them in manually.
Step 15: Click OK when you have all the information you want to edit. 

Step 16: Highlight the file and then click on CUT.
Step 17: Paste the file into the folder that you keep your music in. 
Step 18: Double-click on the file so that it begins to play in Itunes. 

Step 19: Go to the Store tab on the menu bar.
Step 20: Click UPDATE ITUNES MATCH.  

Now All the information should show up and finding your songs on your hard drive and ITunes should be way easier.
If you have a lot of music like I do it will take time to go back and change the details on the files.  It’s a rainy day project.
