7Sea_Sailor ( @7Sea_Sailor@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English43•3 months agoJust 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?
bblfrnz ( @bblfrnz@beehaw.org ) English37•3 months agoThe 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.
Scrollone ( @Scrollone@feddit.it ) English12•3 months agoYou can use yt-dlp to download from other website, not only on YouTube.
lemmyvore ( @lemmyvore@feddit.nl ) English5•3 months agoYou 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.
sus ( @sus@programming.dev ) English6•3 months agoYoutube 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.
Ilandar ( @Ilandar@aussie.zone ) English1•3 months agoI 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.
lemmyvore ( @lemmyvore@feddit.nl ) English1•3 months agoWe do. 😁 It’s very easy to do a blind test and figure out for yourself at what bitrate you stop hearing the differences.

silent_squirrel ( @silent_squirrel@feddit.de ) English17•3 months agoIt was possible to download lossless FLAC files (they got them straight from Deezer) though, so higher quality than anything downloaded from Youtube etc.
ඞmir ( @Amir@lemmy.ml ) English8•3 months agoYouTube 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.
auth ( @authed@lemmy.ml ) English3•3 months agoOn Android I use Newpipe for downloading audio-only.
NaoPb ( @NaoPb@eviltoast.org ) English1•3 months agoBut I want 320mbps and I don’t want the extra sounds that come with some music videos.
Draconic NEO ( @Draconic_NEO@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English1•3 months agoWell 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).
