I’m super lazy and can’t be bothered manually converting each one, is there any good tools/sites I can use to convert the whole playlist? I used to use youtube-DLG but it seems to have stopped working.

    • Depends on whether you want lossless or lossy. For lossy, OOG Vorbis is the way to go if you want to support open source. If you don’t care about that, WMA is a proprietary format alternative. Both WMA and Vorbis have better quality than MP3, with equivalent file sizes. I use Vorbis myself, because it’s free.

      If you want lossless, idk, because I don’t fuck with that.

        Just a small question let us say i wanted to convert all of my mp3 files into oog or wma. Will i loose some quality or it is fine (my files are around 128kbps)??? Because better quality for same size seems like a switch i would do. (I will convert with AIMP)

          If they’re already MP3 then don’t bother. Can’t make it sound better after it’s already been compressed. You’d need to get source material then convert to whatever format.

          There’s nothing wrong with MP3 though. Hell most people are listening to streaming like Pandora and Spotify and don’t complain.
