4K Video Downloader and 4K Youtube to MP3
I've also been using 4K Youtube to MP3 to convert songs and dialogue from YouTube videos to audio files I can play on my music player. It is especially useful because not only does it capture the audio files at their original bitrates, it also allows me to choose which file format to convert them to. This is particularly useful for me because my DSi and my New 3DS XL only supports AAC formats, so selecting the M4A option allows me to transfer them directly to my Nintendo device without having to convert them first.
You can download these programs from the following links:

Here is a screenshot of 4K Video Downloader in action:

Bio: Two Kanohi, a Zatth and a Mask of Possibilities, were both smelted down into Kanoka. The two sets of material harvested from those Kanoka were used in specifically designed positions and incorporated into a blade-like projectile weapon that had several gears installed in extremely precise positions just for this purpose. The goal was finally reached: a weapon that could summon any creature the user wished with 97.5% accuracy. The Blaster is fairly new, and unknown side-effects, possible weapon failure, how to send the summoned creature back, and how to fix the other 2.5% are still being tested. But aside from the aforementioned Unknown Unknowns, this Blaster-Blade has been known to work efficiently, and can help in battle or in a tight spot. Zatth users have mentioned the benefits of this staff, stating that this blade is a step-up for their random summonings, for the most part. Makuta have also noted the efficiency of this staff, being able to summon Rahkshi and Visorak at will.
This blade is powered by an internal source of electrical energy, so if your not on Xia and there aren't any Toa of Lightning nearby, you'll probably want to summon a lightning bug to charge it.
The Blaster-Blade of Zatth looks sort of like a Bolt Launcher only with a Crossbow-type middle. It has an activation button and a telescopic firing-scope, just recently updated so that it's crafted from a Kanoka Sanok. It also features a handle that Toa can use to channel their elemental powers into the blade. Additionally, it can be shoulder-mounted.
A recent modification in the blaster's design has enhanced the weapon capabilities with a Dart-Launcher against Rahi if they become a problem after summoning, or to fire as a projectile while the weapon is not being used to summon creatures. The darts themselves are on almost the same power level as Cordak Missiles (though not nearly as efficient), but they are additionally shaped to act as mini-drills.

Bio: On the island of Xia, as several Vortixx designers were busy, two Kanohi, a Zatth and a Mask of Possibilities, were both smelted down into Kanoka. The two sets of material harvested from those Kanoka were used in specifically designed positions and incorporated into a blade-like projectile weapon that had several gears installed in extremely precise positions just for this purpose. The goal was finally reached: a weapon that could summon any creature the user wished with 97.5% accuracy. The Blaster is fairly new, and unknown side-effects, possible weapon failure, how to send the summoned creature back, and how to fix the other 2.5% (a situation nicknamed 2.5%) are still being tested. But aside from the aforementioned Unknown Unknowns, this Blaster-Blade has been known to work efficiently, and can help in battle or in a tight spot. Zatth users have mentioned the benefits of this staff, stating that this blade is a step-up for their random summonings, for the most part.

The Blaster-Blade of Zatth looks sort of like a Bolt Launcher only with a Crossbow-type middle. It has an activation button and a telescopic firing-scope, possibly to be replaced with another crafted from a Kanoka Sanok. It also features a handle that Toa can use to channel their elemental powers into the blade.
Update One: The virus-magnet power of the Zatth can still be affected by probability; however, this is the cause of the 2.5%. Clearing all Visorak in the area will confuse the weapon, and Fikou, Fenrakk Spawn, Dagger Spiders, and Silver Chute Spiders have all been known to appear in their place. And do NOT attempt to summon any non-Rahi or creatures that are such that they may not exist in this dimension currently, such as the Zivon, as they will almost certainly result in weapon failure or 2.5%, which is a situation you'd be better off trying out with a Zatth, because a Zatth doesn't blow up if you try to make it summon something it can't find.

Toa Nuva Blog, Entry #1
And to celebrate,
Entry 1
Since we have no Chronicler accompanying us on this, our most vital mission, I am taking time to record events for posterity. Tahu thinks this is a foolish waste of time, and I am sure Kopaka agrees with him (so rare to see those two agreeing!). But Onua understands, so does Pohatu. Maybe it's because fire and ice are both elements that are here one moment, gone the next, and rock and earth last on ... but Pohatu and Onua seem to have more respect for history.
After our rescue by the Matoran resistance on Voya Nui, I thought we would surely join the Toa Inika in seeking the Mask of Life. But Axonn and Botar took us aside and told us that the time had come to prepare the universe for the awakening of Mata Nui. If the Inika succeed in their mission, and save the Great Spirit’s life, the time will be ripe for us to fulfill our mission – to awaken Mata Nui and restore light to the universe.
To do that, we had to first return to Metru Nui, at least according to Axonn. The Great Temple, he said, hid information on what we had to do to make ready for Mata Nui's return. We had to find that information and carry out whatever tasks are required, and get it done before it is our time to act. We could not tell anyone, not even the Inika, what we were going to do – for if the Brotherhood of Makuta were to find out, they would surely try to destroy us. (I am surprised they have not done that already...)
At last, after so long and so many battles, we have begun the mission we exist to do. If we succeed, we will have helped save a universe from evil. If we fail ... well, it may be that not even the Great Beings can save us if we fail.
