Stop Transcoding just stip the audio stream in it's correct file container

I See when I download a music Item it gets downloaded first in .WEBM file format that contain's a OPUS audio stream. After it gets downloaded it is then trans-coded to MP3. This is real sad.

Why not just strip the stream in the correct container with ffmpeg. Then no audio quality is lost.

OPUS can be in a OGG container of a OPUS file. No trans-coding required. I would much prefer no trans-coding happening on the downloaded files. I can always do this by hand in a later stage.

Can you add a option to not transcode to MP3. I would rather prefer altering the container by hand than have it all trans-coded to MP3 and introduce more audio artifacts.

Besides this awesome peace of software
