# Download a single video
youtube-dl -o '%(title)s.%(ext)s' "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1Pmcy74Kfs"
# Download whole playlist in a separate directory with videos indexed as the original order in playlist
youtube-dl -o '%(playlist)s/%(playlist_index)s - %(title)s.%(ext)s' "https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkn0zold0m0gPVxbke9slzodvPt6wSRob"
# If only want audio files of the videos
# Instead of using `youtube-dl` use `youtube-dl -x` in above commands
# by default it will convert video into its best quality audio file
# and If you want it in particular format use `youtube -x --audio-format mp3`
# Just replace the links with the video or playlist you want to download

Also to add the metadata from Youtube to the videos add this option --add-metadata
Hence, to download only audios with metadata use:
# Download only audio
youtube-dl --add-metadata -x --audio-format m4a -o '%(title)s.%(ext)s' "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1Pmcy74Kfs"
