Just use yt-dlp instead of relying on websites that shove ads in your face and may do what ever they want to the files you’re downloading?
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.

Shhh dont tell em
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.

We do. 😁 It’s very easy to do a blind test and figure out for yourself at what bitrate you stop hearing the differences.

it’s not even the easiest method of music piracy.
What’s easier than pressing 2 buttons in my YouTube app?
The quality is awful
It’s perfectly acceptable for me
Personally, some of the particular covers sang by Youtubers or certain compilations remind me of specific memories back when I was younger.
Also there’s a lot of songs that are not available anywhere else

Nope. Not really. I speak two local languages for example and none of them are in Soundcloud, it was never popular in my region.

You: I’m not talking about YOU, your experience is irrelevant
What a goddamn fucking clown 🤣 I swear you need to grow some braincells next time you encounter an opinion that’s contrary to yours.

It was possible to download lossless FLAC files (they got them straight from Deezer) though, so higher quality than anything downloaded from Youtube etc.
YouTube is absolutely unacceptable quality. The difference is clearly audible even on $5 earbuds. I feel sorry for your ears if you don’t hear the difference, but the vast majority of those who care enough to download music will be able to tell the difference.
I personally pay for Deezer HiFi and save the FLACs locally. Friends mostly do the same with Tidal, but both work well for this purpose.
If you want to find FLACs without paying for a service you can check out rutracker. It has torrents for discographies from a lot of famous artists. Alternatively, you could find a stolen account for one of the previously mentioned services, but that goes too far for my morals because you’re hurting a normal person with a hacked account.

On Android I use Newpipe for downloading audio-only.
But I want 320mbps and I don’t want the extra sounds that come with some music videos.
Well I’ve found you can avoid the extra sounds as long as its available on YouTube music specifically, as that is a music specific platform but you have to only select from the songs section and not the Videos section. You get less selections than you would’ve before but not really since those extra ones weren’t even songs, but rather music videos.
Also Lyric videos basically never have any sounds in them.
(Doesn’t address the quality issues since many YouTube videos are limited in audio quality, I’ve found downloaders that can do it but it’s hit or miss).
Yup. This was already reported here: https://lemmy.zip/post/11507545
Lmao 54k people on Lemmy as a whole and we’ve already got a repost police!

Yeah I wasn’t counting your alts bud nice try.
The active user count is the one that really matters.
Deezloader and Harmony Music are still available.
Is that a real Deezloader website? That website looks shady af.
Deezer sent out a mail that they are closing the free service so it may not work anymore (without a paid Deezer account)
Subbing for a month, then downloading Gigabytes of properly tagged FLACs doesn’t sound too bad tbh
This guide is enough for all of your needs.
I did not know about this one. I was using my free mp3 juices but that seems to have died in the beginning of this year.
1·3 years agobuy that domain to stop a malware website from buying it (if free mp3 download team don’t keep the domain)
There is a way to download whole playlists in best quality?
