YouTube-dl demolishes 100 pain points of using the modern web
This 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

exec $HOME/d/youtube-dl/youtube-dl -t -x --audio-format=mp3 "$@"
$ yt-audio --your-arg1 --your-arg2
This will sync playlist/audios configured against these arguments.
OTOH, if you specify a format directly without -x, it may not extract the audio alone. For example if you wanted M4A, you'd specify -x on top of specifying the format explicitly.
edit: as krick points out though, it doesn’t seem videos generally have an mp3 format, at least on YouTube.
you need to check what sources are available then manually input the number for just the audio stream of that specific video
