i'm afraid there ain't much left to "watch" if you only get the audio stream :) – Molly7244 Feb 4 '10 at 22:43

Several sites offer to download Youtube videos for you, convert them to MP3 and let you download just the MP3.

sites like mp3ify.com can download the audio from a video, although if bandwith is a problem such as using a USB dongle with a data limit then you will still use a large portion compared to watching the video.

I'm afraid the real answer is: "There is no easy way of doing that".

No it isn't the answer. This site listentoyoutube.com does it all for you, requires only a URL and outputs exactly what you want. How is this not easy? – Joe Taylor Apr 29 '10 at 8:50
