First, Visit this post from Binaural Blog that goes into the details of how to achieve results, and the highlights copied below.

Here is what you need to know. We answer a lot of the same questions around here. 90% of the time, this is why it isn't working for you:

Order ONLY from http://www.i-doser.com.
If you downloaded a torrent, trying to stream from anywhere (especially youtube), or obtained anywhere other than directly from I-Doser, there is a good chance you have an imitation, fake, or poorly translated file. You will get little or no effects. I-Doser is a global brand. There are many overseas imitations that are so good you would never be able to tell they didn't come from us. You will find our brand all over torrents and illegal download sites. Many contain viruses or are just noise in a file. As far as streaming sites: they compress the audio into a format that makes it impossible to feel the effects. Listened to a dose on youtube? It will never work. Bottom line: spend the few extra dollars to buy them from the leader in binaural dosing: http://www.I-Doser.com. Not only are you purchasing quality products, but you are supporting our research and helping us to continue to innovate in the field.

Use good headphones. I-Doser Approved are here: http://www.i-doser.com/mobile.html
If you are using any kind of phone stock earbuds (this includes Apple's iconic white buds, or any included with your phone or media player) then the results will be reduced. Don't ask us here if what you have will work. I-Doser and the forum members have probably never used them, and anything is just a guess.

Know the difference between doses.
The .drg file doses are for the PC and MAC version of I-Doser (Free download here: http://www.i-doser.com/download/). These are pure binaurals and carrier tones and do not contain music. They are also longer sessions. I-Doser brand MP3s and CDs, and the iPhone and Android App, are shorter versions of doses intended for on-the-go use. They contain beautiful background music with the binaurals. These are completely different as far as sequence design goes (although some do have the same or similar name). We get asked all the time: which is stronger? People are different, but as most of our advanced users do: get both. Use the Mobile CD/MP3 doses on the go or for "practice," and the .drg file doses on your computer for full sessions. Eventually you will feel similar or same effects across both platforms and be able to dose anywhere!

Quiet location, no interruptions
We see it all the time: "I listened to 10 minutes and stopped because it didn't work." Listen to the whole sequence. I-Doser doses are intricately designed sequences. If you don't have the patience for it, then binaural dosing isn't for you. You need to listen to the entire sequence, no exceptions. If you get interrupted (phone rings, etc), then start over.

Get the Condition and Reset doses.
They are available in any format (CD/MP3/APP/PROG). When you are first starting, use Condition before every dose. If you plan on using multiple doses, then use reset in-between to clear your mind of effects. Eventually you will get to where you won't need helper doses.

Practice!
Some users don't experience a breakthrough until after a period of continued use. Don't give up. Most users who eventually do experience their breakthrough can then dose at will and always feel effects. Ask anyone here in the forum, it's the worth your invested time.

IN SHORT:

Get your doses only from I-Doser. If you didn't they are probably imitation.

As a preamble I'd like to say that i-doser works extremely well for me and I've never had to do all the lie down in a quiet room stuff to feel the effects. Hell, I was out walking my dog listening to the Demerol dose for the first time when half way through the dose and totally unexpectedly I felt a massive rush of euphoria.

Anyway, with that said, I've found a few i-doser style audios (that people have created themselves) from youtube to work. Not many, but a few. I wouldn't expect actual i-doser mp3s that have been uploaded to youtube to work though.

Impossible for binaurals to work on youtube. All audio gets compressed in a way that makes they completely useless on youtube. We've fully tested binaurals through streaming on youtube, and they simply will not work.
