  Or make a true backup by downloading it all with e.g. youtube-dl instead.

    Can't help but wonder what the sound quality of a downloaded youtube vid converted to mp3 would be vs a straight up mp3 or FLAC.
    • webreac 9y ago
      YouTube-dl provides the list of all the available formats. You choose the desired quality.

      youtube-dl's name is unfortunate since it.grew.to support many other sites, such as SoundCloud. You can download flac or wav files often using it on SC content.

      Looks like it's time for you to learn about the magic that is youtube-dl. It will change your life.

      Bad. Lossy -> Lossy transcoding will always introduce artifacts. Unless the origin source is lossless. (Actually lossless, not a file someone transcoded to a lossless format from a lossy origin)

  "By continuing, you agree that you own the music associated with the account and give us permission to host it." So, this services simply downloads the files and then add on your server? How is this helping me back it up?

    You can download the files from the server. I'll make it more visible.

      Alright. I noticed that it was pretty easy to find the .mp3 files using the inspector but I didn't know if it was a feature or not.

  It does not seem to save the associated images (404 Not Found on the images on the webpage with the saved soundfiles).
