I am downloading a list of youtube URLs from a file with the option --extract-audio url_list.txt
When a video file was already downloaded, then the file is not downloaded again. That's ok.
But when I also pass the option to extract the audio from the video file, then avconv is run again, even if the MP3 also already exists.

It would be nice, if --extract-audio honors existing already converted mp3 files.

Are you using the --no-post-overwrites option? Post-processed files are overwritten by default so unless you use the aforementioned option avconv will be run every time.
