SUMMARY
Feature request: Add a download option in AudioTube using yt-dlp

DESCRIPTION
It would be very useful if AudioTube included a built-in download feature that uses yt-dlp as the backend. This would allow users to download YouTube music videos or audio tracks directly from the app for offline playback.

BENEFITS
- Enable offline listening without relying on external tools.
- Leverage the powerful yt-dlp downloader, which supports many video/audio formats.
- Improve user experience by integrating downloading and playback in one app.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR
A user should be able to click a "Download" button or select an option in AudioTube to save the current track or playlist locally using yt-dlp.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Yes
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.14.0
Qt Version: 6.9.1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
AudioTube version: 25.04.2
