Is this possible? Is there a format it should be recorded to for purposes of copying it to a CD or DVD for later replay on a computer?
Sure is. You can do the download with this: YTD Video Converter. I use the free version.
And here is a tutorial on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4RJqzOJZpc
For sound only, convert it to MP3.
I was doing this a couple of years ago and I found the sound quality to be lacking. I believe I noticed smaller file sizes per song which would indicate they are lower quality as well, right?Works great, I do it all the time.
