These instructions will show you how to save a sound file from a YTMND using your favorite web browser.

Internet Explorer

This tutorial was originally from the forums at http://forums.ytmnd.com/showthread.php?t=3761. Go there for pics.

Step one

Right click anywhere on the YTMND site (except where the text is) and click "View Source".

Step two

Notepad or a similar text program should open and give you the sites source code. Use your app's text search feature. If it's Notepad, click "Search" and then "Find".

Step three

Now the text finder will open. If you want to search for the sound file type in "wav" or "mp3" depending on what sound format they used for the site (or just "sound" if you want to make it easier).

Step four

Part of the sound's URL will then be highlighted. Highlight the full sound or url (everything within the quotations), right click and copy.

Step five

Finally, paste the url into the address bar on your browser. The sound should save to your computer. If it starts trying to play on a media player your settings need to be adjusted.

Opera

This tutorial was tested using Opera 9 for Windows, but should be able to work with versions 7 and up.

Step one

Open the YTMND you want to enter right click anywhere except over the text and select "source". (You may need to scroll to the bottom of the page and right click the bottom if that option doesn't appear)

Step two

Depending on how Opera is set up, you may have either WordPad open (if you use Opera 8 and below) or another tab displaying the source code (if you use Opera 9 and above). If another tab opened with the source code, you'll need to open the search box by typing [Ctrl+F]. In the search box, type either "wav" or "mp3" (depending on the file type) or just sound. Then click "Find Next". Part of the sound's URL should be higlighted.

Step three

Now highlight the full URL (everything between the quotes), right click and select "copy", to put the address on the clipboard.

Step four

You may now close the search window if you haven't done so already. Next, go to the "tools" menu and select "Transfers".

Step five

Another tab will open showing your downloaded files. In the top of that tab, there should be a field called "Quick download". click in and select "paste and go".

Step six

The file will automatically download in the location where your download folder is. Once the download finishes a popup will remind you. Click the popup to get a menu. Open the folder and rename the long file to whatever you want.
