Thanks, I didn't know about -x ! My usual is: yt-dlp -f 140 [url] The -f 140 maps to the m4a format.

  Why not Opus.
  • samtheprogram 2y ago
    There are many reasons, and as a user of Opus you are probably aware of the trade offs?
    • shmerl 2y ago
      Haven't tracked trade offs recently, but I always use Opus when I save audio from Youtube since it's the best codec option there.

      Wait what, what situation is opus worse than m4a? In my ABXing it's never lost to another lossy format.

    My personal ecosystem is built around Apple-native formats.

  "-f m4a" also works and it's easier to remember.
