I read somewhere that it is possible to rip youtube videos (music only) without the need for converting it into an mp3 as such.
The online conversion process (naturally) results in loss of quality, and (apparently) it is possible to preserve the original video’s audio quality via a direct rip. If so, how would it be done and what format would it be in anyway?
thanks
Get yt-dlp then run: yt-dlp -x ‘video-url’
I believe if you’re willing to check the format codes on the video you can download audio only but both will get you the least compressed audio available.
