"Dammit, it's a video!" You thought you were downloading five songs. Nope, five videos. You don't want videos, you just want something to put on your mp3 player. Here's how to do it:
1. Download ffmpeg from the repositories (and any dependencies requested).
2. In the terminal, type: ffmpeg -i "/path/to/file.mpg" -f mp3 "/path/to/newfile.mp3"
Note that if your filename or path has spaces, you need the quotes around it.
3. There is no 3. You're done!
*Note: ffmpeg supports many different filetypes, and can do a lot more than just pull audio. If you're interested, here's the documentation (http://ffmpeg.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg-doc.html) page for ffmpeg.
