Mp3s from YT are garbage quality, it's double transcoding from YT's already low quality input.
Yeah. If you’re gonna be downloading music from youtube, might as well just torrent flac or at least 320kbps quality instead.
Torrents mostly have pop music ime.
(Popular music trendy, ie Brittany Spears, Eminem, etc.)
This is the most 2001 comment I've read this week.
😂 torrents and Usenet have everything.
Any good spots for oz music? Hiphop...
I’m not sure, don’t listen to it sorry. Pirate bay?
Um, you need a hookup?
You can download audio from YouTube as 160kbps opus files, which aren't lossless sure but it's the highest quality you can get from YouTube if alternate means aren't an option.
And that's trusting that whoever uploaded the track had a good quality source. And it's still double encoded.
Any official uploads from recent years are going to be just fine. And if not then maybe their spotify upload is broken too
Hq is equivalent to 320kbps, noticably better than YT quality
Well if you save the opus or aac it's only single lossy compression, not double unless the uploader used a lossy file as their input. But if that was the case, ripping mp3 would be triple lossy compression...
160kbps is garbage tier.
For mp3 sure, but for opus standards 160kbps is great. I read that 128kbps is generally considered the most you need but 160kbps smooths over any artifacts, assuming the source file doesn't have them.
I haven't noticed any quality issues and I only listen to mp3s from youtube
You can download relatively good sounding audio from YouTube but you need to be using the right format in YouTube-DL, which not all downloaders do
What about NewPipe?
Then you probably don't know any better because the vast majority of YT uploads are terrible quality. If you have anywhere near decent headphones/earbuds you can hear the difference immediately.
Well I've used spotify with and without headphones on popular phones, I can't tell the difference from youtube. I usually download the music directly from the original uploader.
