I found a nice little program that plays and downloads tracks from Youtube. It works in combination with mpv or mplyer and youtube-dl. There was this nice little tool mps-youtube but it actually is not working anymore or unmaintained.
It might even be that youplay was created in response to the broken mps-youtube.

I prefer the CLI but it also comes with a minimal GUI.
