As the title says, I'd like to download audio from youtube playlists while adding track numbers to each audio file based on its position in said youtube playlist.

I have tried tracking down the correct set of command modifiers and have managed to download perfectly healthy .mp3 files, but i have not found the proper set to add the track # metadata so i don't have to add it manually with audacity.

Thanks in advance.
