The page is called "Youtube Info". There, you can paste a Youtube address and hit enter. After the www, it reads h3xed (dot) com (slash) blogmedia (slash) youtube-info. followed by php

You can post a link if it is to do with audio and not blatantly selling something where the sales or click-through will benefit you.
I pasted the link into a post, and when I submitted the post, the system said it was invalid. I took it out and the post was accepted. It is a completely non-commercial page.

If you just want the audio stream then you can right click over the URL and download it using save as, but you might not be able to play it in all players.
The YouTube video I tried only had links for .weba audio despite there are clearly .webm (HTML5) and .mp4 (Flash) versions of the video with audio, so it's pretty confusing. Audacity and VLC played the .weba audio files fine.
Clicking the video links lets you see the video without any ads.
