Covert youtube to itunes?

Hope I'm posting this in the correct place!
I'm trying to convert youtube videos into whatever format songs in itunes are. I seem to be able to convert them into MP3 format by using a converter I downloaded, and can play them using my quicktime player on my Mac, but is there anyway of converting these to itunes or converting them straight from youtube to itunes?

file->import file or something like that. iTunes is not a file format, it just lists the files on your computer so all you have to do is tell it where to find the file and import it into its library

I've drag and dropped them into itunes, but they just wont play. any idea why this is? can't see where/how to import them.

dont know why I thought this would be more straightforward!

you can drag them into itunes but they won't play immediately. Drag the song to itunes and place the mouse over the library place at the top left until you see a + then drop it. If you're dropping it when you see a circle with a line through it then it won't work.

Then it'll be in your library. Click on the "music" link below the word library and it should be there on the list.

Or have you done that much as is it that when you try to play the song it fails?

I think I have done that, the songs appear to be in my itunes library but when I go to play them iTunes automatically skips onto the next song as if it cant recognise them.

Try this http://www.video2mp3.net it downloads it as mp3 and plays fine on itunes.

Hi folks, just wondering about the legalities of doing this by using www.video2mp3.net, are you liable to get in trouble?

The previous posts seem to cover getting audio into iTunes from youtube video.

However for youtube video -> iTunes video try, http://handbrake.fr/

re: liable to get in trouble. Depends on the content. It should state the license to which it is distributed in the video or on the page. Some allow you to copy, even edit the original but others are look don't touch.
