Just use yt-dlp instead of relying on websites that shove ads in your face and may do what ever they want to the files you’re downloading?
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.
Okay, but yt-dlp can rip Deezer…

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.

Personally, some of the particular covers sang by Youtubers or certain compilations remind me of specific memories back when I was younger.
Also there’s a lot of songs that are not available anywhere else
We could say the same thing for SoundCloud or any other music hosting service. It’s not a reason to do everything on that one platform, especially when better alternatives exist.
Nope. Not really. I speak two local languages for example and none of them are in Soundcloud, it was never popular in my region.
I’m not talking about you, I’m talking about the concept of using a service because it has content you cannot find elsewhere. That is absolutely why many people still download music from SoundCloud. Whether you do or not is completely irrelevant.
You: WHY DO PEOPLE…
Me: (Answering your question) PERSONALLY…
You: I’m not talking about YOU, your experience is irrelevant
What a goddamn fucking clown 🤣 I swear you need to grow some braincells next time you encounter an opinion that’s contrary to yours.
it’s not even the easiest method of music piracy.
What’s easier than pressing 2 buttons in my YouTube app?
The quality is awful
It’s perfectly acceptable for me
You think YouTube audio is acceptable? Oof…
There is a way to download whole playlists in best quality?
