Audacity is a good app.  I haven't tried it using YDL but it's avail 
via yum
(you might have to have freshrpms in your yum.conf)
Note it often won't run at the same time as KDE (or gnome? i think... 
see their website for details)
so you likely will have to start a 'failsafe' session and launch it 
from the xterm there.

try yum remove kdegames
and/or         kdemultimedia

KDE apps come 'bundled'
