The worst ever suggestion and unfortunately the most upvoted. Do not ever download music from youtube, free-mp3-download was a front-end for deezer with flacs and 320 kbps mp3 and music on youtube is only about 160 kbps, that’s kinda okay for streaming but absolutely ridiculous if you want to download and keep it.

Shhh dont tell em
You can tell the difference between 320kbps and 160kbps in a blind test?
If you can tell anything above 160 you’re in a select minority (and using great equipment). Most people will never have any use for 320.
Youtube actually uses 128kbps opus, which should be significantly better than 160kbps mp3
but the real problem is that you can’t know what quality the uploader used, it all gets recompressed by youtube.
