How to download mp3 from YouTube with up to 320 kb/s

YouTube nowadays isn't used to just share videos, but also music. I prefer to have high quality music stored in my devices. When I try to use services that convert YouTube videos to mp3 I usually end up with low quality songs with a rate of 128 kb/s.

After a lot of searching for a free and convenient way to download with high quality I found one site called youtubemp3pro.com. It allows you to decide what bitrate you will use 128, 192 or 320 kb/s.

How to use it?

You can add it as a bookmark to your browser. It supports Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Opera. After installing it, it is pretty and intuitive to use. you just select the bit-rate and press Download mp3.

You can also download the software for Windows from here.

Or if you don't want to add extra software to your PC or to your browser you can do it this way:

type http://www.youtubemp3pro.com/#"the link of the video without quotation marks"#qualityXXX 

instead of XXX you should write 128 or 192 or 320.

Enjoy your music!

How to kill a program in Linux

Before starting the post I want to tell everyone that I use Linux as my primary OS. More specifically I use Linux Mint. The simplicity and user friendliness of this OS are really astonishing.

Even though it is a pretty stable system, errors and problems are bound to appear once in a while. For example a program might freeze. People accustomed to windows will look for a task bar, but since there is none, they often get stuck.

After some research I found an efficient way to kill any frozen program.

xkill

1. Open a terminal. Either by pressing Ctlr+Alt+t, or Alt+F2 and typing gnome-terminal in it.

2. In the terminal type sudo xkill *, then using your mouse cursor click on the program that you want to kill.

* You will be required to input your password like with any other command that requires administrative rights. (that contains "sudo" in it)


There are other ways to kill a frozen program, but I prefer this one since it more user friendly.

Viber expands to the Desktop

Today i was just browsing my Facebook, when I see a notification: "Viber has changed its cover photo". I went ahead and checked it out and I noticed Viber running in a desktop environment. I thought it was a joke since Viber until now has been a mobile only software. But it is true. Viber is now available for the desktop.

This is the Facebook cover that i saw. There you can see Viber installed in a Mac. It is also available for Windows. Actually to get the Mac version you have to dig a little bit deeper in the website.

If you want to check it out just click the link below.

'Wheezy' released, Debian 7.0

The world of Operating Systems is filled with animals. Along with mountain lions, raring ringtails, pangolins, etc, from today there will be also some Wheezies out there. Well a Wheezy is really an animal but a toy penguin from Toy Story. For me it still counts.

7.0 is a stable version. It includes various features such as an improved installer, a complete set of multimedia codecs, multiarch support and several specific tools to deploy private clouds.

"Multiarch support, one of the main release goals for Wheezy, will allow Debian users to install packages from multiple architectures on the same machine. This means that you can now, for the first time, install both 32- and 64-bit software on the same machine and have all the relevant dependencies correctly resolved, automatically"

This is what the official post says. The article there is somewhat more lengthy. A whole list of changes is there. If you want to give it a look and also try this new version of Debian, just click the link below at the sources.
