[YouTube-API] Re: Audio Information

Thanks Jeff,

All I meant was that I wasn't looking to snag the actual audio file
from the video. Just wanted the information. Was hoping since many
videos have music uploaded through Youtube, that there would be a way
to find out artist information/track information. Guess there isn't
and I have to figure out another way around it! Thanks for the quick
response!
