#3I ended up writing a bot that runs on a docker scheduled task and looks at trello. I can drop a youtube link on the board and it will grab the audio.
Great for when I hear a song somewhere that I want to add to my phone later.

#4This wrapper gets rid of the only pain point in using YouTube-dl which was having to google every time you wanted just the audio.
Great work

#8I'd make a PR but I'm not near a computer right now. This is great. I have a couple audio files I need to pull for my kid and this is gonna save me a couple steps. Thank you!

Off the top of my head, isnt that just the -x flag?
$ yt-audio --your-arg1 --your-arg2
This will sync playlist/audios configured against these arguments.

exec $HOME/d/youtube-dl/youtube-dl -t -x --audio-format=mp3 "$@"
(Edit: I'm sure this script does a lot more, but making ytdl download only the audio is fairly simple. Note the above command converts the file to mp3 which some people may not want to do because it's lossy.)
