You don't download music from youtube, as such - you can watch clips, and save them online in your youtube account, but you need more software to actually get it on your hard drive or elsewhere.

I watch a lot of clips on it - there is some porn hidden amongst it though, under very innocuous names. Although youtube is quick to remove it if it's reported.

I suggest you have a good look at the site yourself first.

To enable java you need to go in to your browser settings - usually tools - internet options (or options) - content.

Hee hee - I've just re-read my answer.

Just to clarify - I do not use YouTube to watch porn.

Mainly old music clips, such as this one:

Yes you can download and save them ,keepvid or videodownloader extensions will allow you to save them as .flv files which can then be played with the excellent VLC media player
