    I use something called the YTD Video Downloader - free from www.downloads.com.

    It also downloads clips from YouTube and then allows you to convert to a bunch of different formats.

    You can just select clips on your system and convert them too.

    It's just audio, i assume those field recorders can just save video formats??

    No - the YTD Video Downloader has a conversion function that happens independently of any downloading.

    So, you can convert from WMA to MP3 directly, or to/from WAV, or whatever.

    just run in 32-bit as described in the forum link - works like a charm. :D
