However, there's a useful tool called youtube-dl. It lets you download any format that's on their servers. You can find the availible formats with the "-F" flag, then download that format with the "-f (format number)". Usually there are three separate audio files at different formats and bitrates. Or you can just give it the URL and it will download the highest resolution video.
Once you download the audio, you can just use ffmpeg or something to convert it to MP3.

You can use youtube-dl to extract audio from a video url like so:
Code:
youtube-dl -x --audio-format mp3 --audio-quality best "youtube-url" "%(title)s.mp3"
Code:
excerpt from youtube-dl --help
Post-processing Options:
-x, --extract-audio Convert video files to audio-only files (requires
ffmpeg or avconv and ffprobe or avprobe)
--audio-format FORMAT Specify audio format: "best", "aac", "vorbis",
"mp3", "m4a", "opus", or "wav"; "best" by default
--audio-quality QUALITY Specify ffmpeg/avconv audio quality, insert a value
between 0 (better) and 9 (worse) for VBR or a
specific bitrate like 128K (default 5)

youtube-dl is nice but well, I would be interested by a minimalist solution such as quvi.
Quick and convenient, YouTube to MP3 is a website where you can copy and paste the URL of the YouTube video you want to convert. Just add the link and click the Go button. At the next screen, click the drop-down menu and select the format for conversions, such as MP3 or M4A.
With an MP3, you also select the level of compression, anywhere from 64 kbps to 320 kbps. The smaller the number, the smaller the file, but the poorer the quality. So unless you need to save space, you’ll want to choose a higher number.
