v2.12
This includes some new things, but not a minor version number change because it's fixes.
The major addition is file merging, long ago requested. I researched into it. Hopefully it works well enough. (frmMain, Convert.cs)
TrayIcon hides when exiting, so it doesn't leave a icon on the tray. (frmMain)
Some more regions.. whatever me 10 days ago means by that... (frmMain.cs)
Added debug date handling from one source (frmMain, frmAbout, Properties.Settings)
Added some arguments for downloads outside of custom downloads, primarily used for nosound (Download.cs)
Added option to download sound, keep "Sound" checked if you want sound (frmMain)
Added miscellaneous tools (frmTools)
Added some buttons on the menu (Tools, Batch download, Misc tools) (frmMain)
Fixed quality combobox not enabling if selecting custom once (frmMain)
Fixed FileNameSchema not saving properly (frmSettings)
Compatible-only changes:
Renamed "Check for updates" to "View github releases"

All features
This is simply a GUI for said application for windows users, without the inconsistent GUI bloat, and weight, and possible viruses. youtube-dl is not included because it's not my program, instead this application automatically downloads it. I don't fully understand how youtube-dl works, so this is only including 3 donload options, Video, Audio (MP3), and Custom, as well as changable audio quality ranging from 8-320k. Custom lets you input your own youtube-dl arguments. Settings is not quite done yet, but will be included once I get around to finding a way to save them. I, then, need to find a way to move the newely created file to a customizable path set by the user, but for now it saves the files in the youtube-dl folder.

youtube-dl is very easy to setup and use on its own (without a gui), and you'll likely only need a few commands to master the command-line tool to get all the audio and video you need in the format and quality you desire. If you really need a gui then this tool should suffice, if you have .NET 4.5 installed that is - this requirement is why I gave it a low score.
On Windows, you only need youtube-dl.exe and the 2 ffmpeg tools - ffmpeg.exe and ffprobe.exe (both found in the ffmpeg zip). With the addition of a shell frontend (like ConsoleZ) you can avoid adding files to PATH and simply have the frontend open to the \youtube-dl folder - helps with avoiding long command-lines. Easy Peezy, either way, youtube-dl and youtube-dl-gui are great tools to get online audio & video to the desktop for offline enjoyment.
