Hello fellow Sailors, is there a program or similar thing where I can copy a link to an YouTube music video where there are some songs behind each other and it downloads each individualy? Or where you just require the tracklist and the program find each song itself? Thanks in advance

    I won’ rant over youtube’s inferior sound quality, but please tag or mark your finished files as youtube sourced, at least if there’s any possibility you further share them.

      Doesn’t youtube music have higher/equal quality to spotify? Otherwise I might have to switch up my music piracy methods

        Youtube’s quality isn’t as bad as it’s used to be, in fact you can get pretty high quality aac and opus streams given that the upload had legit quality and your using legit software to download and not some shitty webapp.

        From the YouTube Help section on “Encoding specifications for music videos”:

        Although it is not recommended, YouTube accepts compressed audio. YouTube transcodes from the delivered format; audio quality is much better when transcoded from a lossless format compared to re-compressing a lossy audio format.

        If you must deliver compressed audio, use these specifications:

        Codec: AAC-LC
        Sample Rate: 44.1Khz
        Bit Rate: 320kbps or higher for 2 channels (higher is always better; 256 kbps acceptable)
        Channels: 2 (stereo)
