   Hello zhuojianlook

   Thanks for raising this.

   This was a change in v1.30. "Audio only" starts with a check to find out if a file with the desired format is available. If not, MacYTDL downloads best available and converts to desired format. But, that process made batch downloads painfully slow. So, I turned off audio only for batch downloads.

   I'll have another go at this. That change was not a good idea and it should be possible to batch download audio only. I'll try to get a fix into the next release of MacYTDL.

   Cheers.
