Is there any way to download the highest quality audio track (format 141) in yt-dlp without using my cookies from my YT premium account? If that's possible then

  Not sure sorry, curious as to why you're looking for that format? I'd be very surprised if you could tell the difference in a double blind in a "normal" listening situation between 141 and 251. I may be judging you a little bit if you're using youtube as the source for your fancy music listening setup. That difference is the sort of thing where I'll notice on some nice cans in a song that's not particularly compressible, but even then probably only when ABXing or actively listening for artifacts. It's definitely not going to impact my vibe. I'm genuinely curious about your usecase.
