free-mp3-download.net (but don't forget to backup your music collection)
Edit: Unlike what the website name suggests, it allows you to download FLACs, and not just MP3s. These come from Deezer HiFi.
Oh thank you for this π

For real been looking for something like this since I switched.
What is its source? Torrents in background?
From what I could find, Deezer using free trial Deezer HiFi accounts.
So they just save the lower resolution YouTube audio into FLAC?
No. Very much no. I wonder where he found that.
Direct image link
But I did find a few that clearly might have been uploaded to Deezer as 320K MP3s with their 20.5kHz cut-off, but based on replies on Reddit, it is sometimes just mastered that way, "Often for dumb reasons". However, sometimes it shows FLAC download unavailable for certain few songs, so maybe it really was just different mastering in those cases.
Ah that's good, thanks for explaining!
Thank you, you just changed my life.
Why not just use yt-dlp?
I used to do that, but oftentimes what you find on YouTube is multi-generation lossy re-encodes which can sound poor with earphones.
I still rip from YouTube if certain songs are not on Deezer or flacmusicfinder.com.
Also, this is faster.
Yt-dlp can rip from a lot of website though, not just youtube. Hereβs a full list
I end up downloading these as webm, and exporting the audio to MP3 in Audacity. It's a bit annoying for remixes that aren't put on SoundCloud by the original uploader, and the audio quality difference can be noticeable sometimes βΉοΈ
