Download mp3 from youtube
Could you please add way to download video from youtube and other sites and to convert it to mp3 format (and delete original video - optinal). Useful when you want to download songs from Youtube or Spotify in mp3 format. I currently use youtube-dl for it, but it's CLI and I rather prefer pyload GUI.
If this is not going to be added to official version of pyload, maybe some contributor could make plugin/user script for others using youtube-dl for this
Neither do I decide the road map of Pyload, nor I think Pyload devs won't be able to do it. But I think the core of Pyload is not really interactive. So how to choose what excatly you want to download in such a Youtube URL?
But...there is already software that does exacatly what you need: Video DownloadHelper. It consists of a software to install and a plugin in Firefox or Chrome (it can not only download videos from youtube). You can choose "download and convert" to get to mp3.
There could be prompt if you want to download video (different qualities) or mp3 after adding ytb link to queue.
I am not sure if pyload is able to transform the different audio/video formats. I guess the audio stream container is not mp3. So in the end there is a need for converter. Dont know if pyload has something like this or wants to integrate it. I just thought if there is excatly something like this, you would be interested, instead of waiting for this to be developed...

pyLoad has no ability to interact with the user after you add a URL.
What can be done is to add a configuration option to the YouTube plugin to download audio only. Is this acceptable?
Why not create another "provider" plugin which is called Youtubecom_audio_only ? It will not interfere with the existing youtube video plugin. I basically would not have an issue if pyload does not do the conversion from DL format to MP3. I need to do the same today with Jdownloader2. FFMPEG would easily do the conversion, probalby just an event needed eg youtube audio DL finished where the FFMPEG can be triggered. what will be difficult is to select the audio quality (if there are multiple) if the user is "offline", but should be managable with preferences., as mentioned already above.
