Time shifting means copying for the purpose of listening to the recording at a better time, whereas space shifting is relevant here because the intended purpose is to allow the audio to be played in a different environment (i.e. not the YouTube player or app).<p>The more important thing is that space shifting to different media (digital, personal computer hard drive in this case) is legally treated differently.  Though, to be honest, I&#x27;m not convinced that <i>any</i> personal recording protections would or should apply to the YouTube situation.  It&#x27;s just one way that the two differ.
