This premise is ridiculous.

Just visit https://youtubemp3.rip/ or any of the other thousand sites that do this.

Or, you can just record the music as you listen to it using Audacity for example, and save them as an MP3 or any other format.

Of course, these tasks require about a minute of minimal effort. In our fast paced modern world of music streaming, who has time to load up an audio program and hit Record? Or type in a Youtube URL and hit Convert? I'm sure the blog author cant be bothered with such things.

....I remember recording cassette tapes off of the radio! Sitting there as a child, waiting Hours for That Song.

How times have changed, and for the better!

I still have MP3 files in my collection that I recorded off the radio. I recorded them off the radio with a cassette tape while in junior high. In my latter years of High School, I digitized them by running an aux cable between the cassette player's headphone jack and a Windows 98 PC's microphone jack. I know which ones are recorded off the radio because they miss the first second or two of the song.
