OK, so I just made a copy of the script and modified it. Just removing 'bestvideo' from the 'youtube-dl -i -f bestvideo+bestaudio...' part does quick and dirty fix for me.

Maybe adding an option somewhere to select video quality or only audio would be something useful for some?
Thanks, and closing.

@Jarshvor with PR #9, you will be able to do echo -n 'bestaudio' > META/format and youtube-sync will only store the audio.

btw, maybe you also want to change the --merge-output-format option to something audio-specific.
