The worst ever suggestion and unfortunately the most upvoted. Do not ever download music from youtube, free-mp3-download was a front-end for deezer with flacs and 320 kbps mp3 and music on youtube is only about 160 kbps, that's kinda okay for streaming but absolutely ridiculous if you want to download and keep it.

Okay, but yt-dlp can rip Deezer...

You can use yt-dlp to download from other website, not only on YouTube.

You can tell the difference between 320kbps and 160kbps in a blind test?

If you can tell anything above 160 you're in a select minority (and using great equipment). Most people will never have any use for 320.

Youtube actually uses 128kbps opus, which should be significantly better than 160kbps mp3

but the real problem is that you can't know what quality the uploader used, it all gets recompressed by youtube.

I don't understand where you guys get these conspiracy theories about the human ear from, you sound like the people who claimed the human eye couldn't see a difference above 60 FPS. It's just obviously wrong. Stop reading studies and telling yourself you can't hear a difference. Use your ears.
