I'm getting all my music for free from Youtube Music with yt-dlp
Quality of YouTube downloads ain't anywhere near the 'high quality' OP is after.
Propably yes, but not because of the codec google uses.
Best you get from YouTube is 128kbps (ish, it's VBR) without paying or 256kbps with Premium. I would consider high quality to start at 320kbps minimum.
That's not true, youtube uses opus with vbr up to 160kpbs without premium. Premium gets 256kbps aac. 320kbps with opus is overkill
Imo Yt Music has way better quality than atleast Spotify and it has almost everything you'd ever need
You are correct that it's 160kbps, I spoke a bit too vaguely as most of them are listed between ~95-130 by my music software instead of the peak of 160. I still maintain that YT Premium are "good enough" and not "high quality", but that's a highly subjective statement. The point remains though that you cannot get that 256kbps without paying.
