I use this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ytd2/ - very simple and free (java). But sounds like you are looking for a grabber that does batch jobs. This one doesn't, but it is easy to use.

I use aTube catcher. It can grab videos or audio and you can select from several profiles for conversions for many gadget compatibility.

JDownloader is the batch download master.

Easy method: Feed JDownloader the playlist or channel URL and it will scrape off every link to every video including MP3 only, it then arranges all of them as per format packages, simply delete all the formats you don't want and away it goes.... oh it uses multi-threaded downloading for maximum speed so you should be able to saturate your connection.

HQ method: The above will not give you the best possible audio quality, neither will any of the utilities described by previous posters, all of them will (in many cases) leave you with 3rd generation copies, that's bad as all three audio formats used by youtube are lossy! For best results download the highest quality VIDEO, preferably the 720P MP4 (the audio stream on 1080 videos is identical to the 720 version) and then strip out the AAC audio from there. To do that here's a simplish method:

1) place a copy of ffmpeg.exe in same directory as the videos

2) copy & paste the following into notepad, save it, rename extension to .bat from .txt

for %%a in ("*.mp4") do ffmpeg -i "%%a" -acodec copy "%%~na.m4a"

3) double click .bat file

Why?
Because for maximum quality you want the closest possible version to the original video's audio at the time it was uploaded, since it is not possible retrieve the original file with both untouched audio and video streams the idea is to grab a copy that best maintains the original audio quality. For recent videos that is always the audio stream from the 720P version.

Old videos (before HD when all video on the site was Flash based) are a crap shoot where the MP3 from the highest quality Flash video probably IS the original unconverted audio stream. This was ascertained by grabbing a heap of videos that were uploaded at around the same time in 2008/2009 and comparing the audio encoders used, since several different encoders were used it seems more likely than not that Youtube was skipping the audio encoding and simply multiplexing the video with the original video's soundtrack.

Download YouTube Videos as MP4

It's an extension for Firefox that adds a "Download" button under the videos. Click on HD or whatever is highest available, then click on Download and select the highest quality format.

Get My MP4Box GUI :

http://my-mp4box-gui.zymichost.com/

Open the app, go to the Demux tab, load the mp4 or flv file you downloaded from Youtube, click demux.

You get the AAC file from the Youtube video.. exactly how it comes from Youtube.

No recompression, no loss of quality, you get the audio file as high quality as Youtube gives it. No crap, super fast, only downside is you have to download the whole video first.

HD videos usually have 160-192kbps AAC or 384 kbps 5.1 sound or even more for some premium videos

720p videos usually have 128 kbps AAC or around that bitrate.

some 360p FLV have 96kbps MP3 .. so you should get at least 480p or 720p if you want quality sound.
