Downloading music from YouTube will get you MP3s, but they will have gone through the YT compression algorithms.

Use Deemix instead. Downloads MP3s straight from the Deezer servers with all metadata and album art.

Lucida.to would also be a pretty good choice, you can choose to download from either Deezer, Qobuz, Tidal, Spotify, Deezer or Amazon Music.

Then seed it on Soulseek as a webrip

No you have to edit the file for CD metadata and convert it to flac so you can pretend it was ripped from a CD, as is P2P file sharing tradition. Bonus pts if you put it through some filter to introduce a bunch of noise into the audio. Then ask in chat how you can convert a 128kbps mp3 to flac to increase the quality. Priceless.
