Don’t use shady sites. Use yt-dlp.

If you use the NewPipe android app to watch youtube, you can download directly from there, as video or audio, in a selection of formats.

Or you could install YTDLnis and (optionally) ReVanced, then click the download icon in the video box and you can download it in any other format.

I wasn’t aware of that. That’s neat. It can be found on F-Droid and Droid-ify.

It’s a Python command line program, so yes. I use Termux (a Linux terminal emulator), and I installed
yt-dlpusingpip, a package manager for Python. I also haveffmpegfor command line video editing on my phone.I have it setup such that when I click “Share” on a URL from Firefox or YouTube, and I choose Termux as the receiving app, I am presented with a menu that let’s me choose if I want the video saved to a normal folder or a hidden folder (for reasons), or if I want to download just the audio and save it to an MP3. yt-dlp can download from much more than just YouTube.
Thee script is just a bash script with a specific name in a specific folder that Termux knows to invoke when sent a URL. You can do anything you want with such a script.
Only get Termux from F-Droid or Droid-ify. Not from the Play Store. The Play Store version is way out of date.

Pretty sure revanced has a download option too.

You need a third app like newpipe to download. But, it works fine in youtube and youtube music.

but yt audio quality is terrible.

So are the bluetooth speakers and ear buds that most people use to listen to music these days.

LDAC codec seems enough for me to tell the difference for music i know in high-rez, and I don’t like it.
I do have good quality android player and wired, but pointless to use with Spotify.

yt-dlp can use your browser cookies for YT premium and therefore YT music. That’s 256kBit/s AAC, it’s okay.

Most people can’t tell the difference between low bitrate vs high bitrate. Usually just confirmation bias.
Have you truly tested whether you can? I don’t mean playing each side by side and seeing whether you can tell the difference, but actually testing yourself in a way that you don’t know which is being played (like having someone else play it for you).

Maybe you can’t, what headphones/avr setup do you have?

It’s very fine unless you decide you just must and have to convert that audio to MP3 (the audio loses quality with every lossy compression), because you are an old boomer and other formats scare you even though almost all modern device can play OPUS or at least M4A or you are one of those people who call themselves “Audiophiles” to feel more special, but wouldn’t recognize a shit if I played OPUS at 192kbps on their 2000$ home audio setup instead of the uncompressed FLAC that has over 50MB in size each. I have most of my library from YT Music which is ~128kbps OPUS and it has been transparents on all audio devices I have played it till now.

Look, we all have bad days, but there’s no need to be so aggressive to random people online. Everyone’s hearing is different. Some people are more sensitive to certain sounds than others. I tried youtube, spotify and tidal. And youtube is the audio quality I disliked the most. Just for clarification. I’m not a boomer, I’m a millenial, I work in computer science so I enjoy testing new formats. I have tried everything from atrac (sony) to DSD, I don’t have a $2000 home audio setup but I have a couple of decent pairs of cans, with mid-range DAC and amps. And I have tested multiple audio formats at different levels of compression and bitrate to find what I like the most. To me 128kbps feels like listening to the radio over the phone. If that’s enough for you, then great, more power to you. No need to be disrespectful.

I am sorry. I went to a little rant, but I meant it rather funny even though I realize it feels aggressive 🤣.

Then use a Spotify downloader. I had one but forgot the name of it.
