Ping! Pong!

September 23, 2007 3:24 AM

Cockney brit-hop group North of Ping Pong's first single, "What goes up (must come down)", has been made into a lovely comedic short. However, I can't seem to find the song available for purchase or download anywhere. Has it not been released yet? If not, how can I rip the audio from the .flv file?

Best answer: If you go to Shop on their website you can download it for 99p.

Best answer: What OS? If you're using Mac or Linux, get FFMpeg (FFMPegX on a Mac has a gui; on Linux, you'd want something like "ffmpeg -i inputfile.flv -f mp3 outputfile.mp3"). I suspect there's an FFMpeg for Windows as well, but you could also use http://www.flv2mp3.com.

Response by poster: Hmm, now my problem seems to be that I can't grab the .flv from youtube with any of my extensions. I suppose I'll just buy it from the website; the quality couldn't get any better. I'll be sure to spread it around when I do get it,l though; I'm sure others are having just as much trouble finding the song as I am :)

tehloki: If you can run python, go get youtube-dl. If not, use vixy.com. Or .net, I'm not sure which.
