Why?

I really like listening stuff while driving(mainly people talking: interviews, talks)

How

0. git clone $this, bundle install

1. Set up Youtube-mp3 from: https://github.com/salgadobreno/youtube-mp3

2. Set your Redis to persist otherwise you'll lose the queue when you restart, on redis.conf:

   save 300 1 # save every 5 minutes if there's any change

   dbfilename dump.rdb

   dir /some_directory/

3. There's a sinatra app but it would only be worth it if you set it to start automatically, I just use the podbox script to add queues:

   ruby podbox {youtube_url}

4. The good thing(IMO) of having Redis set this way is that I can just queue stuff in a 'save for later' fashion, then anytime you feel like getting that new stuff on your pen-drive/phone, run QUEUE=* rake resque:work and it takes care of the rest for you.

The MP3 Files will be downloaded into this script's root dir.
