Hi,
Thanks for the wisdom.
I want to be sure I am being clear.
What I am wanting to do is give a program a specific youtube link so that
it can do the conversion for me.
something like here,
www.youtube2mp3.org
this site does not work with links e-links or lynx, but you get the idea.
I do not go to youtube myself, but get links related to work and other
projects that I desire converting into something strictly audio.
can I accomplish this using the method you outline?

Probably the best solution for now is youtube-dl. It should be available from
your distro of choice. If not, you can find it at
http://rg3.github.com/youtube-dl
You can then use mplayer to dump the audio stream directly from the file, or
convert it to the format you like using ffmpeg. I have a bit more complicated
way of doing things that involves getting their new WebM videos and pulling
out the Vorbis audio using mkvextract, but that involves picking through the
HTML5 source and doing some creative searching and replacing to get the
correct link. At this point, youtube-dl is still the better option for heavy
use. I'm also in contact with the developer of Youtube-dl to try to get it
downloading the new format so that you will always get good audio without
conversion if it's available, and soon all their videos will be available in
this new WebM format, which will make audio extraction extremely easy.
