I guess you could do most of what you want with Audacity or VLC, but
sometimes there are easier ways. For example when I want to store
YouTube clips (sometimes only the sound and sometimes also video), I
just copy it from my web browser's (Opera) cache folder. All I have to
do is to copy it some place else and then rename them (they are all
called something like ”oprBlahblah.tmp” but they are really FLV files).

Then, if I want only the sound, depending on the audio codec of the file
and the audio codec that I want for the new file, I can use Mplayer in a
terminal, for example.

Sometimes the audio codec is already the one that I want, and Mplayer
lets me just ”rip” the sound out without converting it, which gives me
no further degradation of the sound quality.
