WTF are you talking about, youtube streams at like 128kbps
Take a look at the spectrum

 

iTubeGo app for me.. i think its formerly known as KeepVid app because exactly same GUI and options.. really like its download youtube playlist feature.. saving time for such need.. app say can dl spotify too but i havent try.. *you can try before buy from official site or sister friendly site #hinthint*

 

I was talking about Spotify Premium because you mentioned it.
The spectrum says nothing about the quality.

 

I like 4K video downloader.

 

Internet Download Manager

 

Sorry, i dont think i understand what you initially meant yet.
Spotify encodes their lossy streaming versions from original, lossless audio from the record label.
But yes you can quite quickly determine the real bitrate of audio by looking at the spectrum

 

You are probably looking for a converter that downloads music videos from youtube in an mp3 format, which means only the audio.

 

JDownloader works perfect, for both audio and video on youtube.

MediaHuman. You can import playlists too.

Sidify Spotify Downloader; already cured

But, I have a better option if all you want is a good quality MP3. Check out deemix its awesome.

 

Cannot be an absolute answer, but JDownloader is great at. You choose the format, you delete unwanted items (video, subs, etc.), and it's done.
Only aac, opus, m4a, etc, then you have to convert it if you want.

 

After using ClipGrab for a long time i'm using Open Video Downloader now.

 

I like using 4k Downloader because i like to save in mp3 format, but I am sure many others do that, too.
JDownloader doesn't seem to offer that format, but many players will play aac, etc, too.
I actually bought ..(or donated?)..whatever a long time ago to download whole playlists of YouTube lectures

 

I have an extension for mozilla which embeds little button underneath each youtube video which you can click to quickly download without having to navigate to a seperate site. Its called - Easy Youtube Video Downloader

here's i have recommendation for you a faster software to download youtube video, use https://YaxTube.com !! very simple, useful and work.

 

YT-DLP is the successor of Youtube-dl. For Linux and Windows, open source on GitHub: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp

The only problem I see is that mouse warriors won't like the idea of typing stuff into terminal. But really, it's the best downloader and Youtube downloader there is. You can easily choose different streams, combine them, solo them... absolutely powerful.

 

Found some GUIs for YT-DLP:
https://github.com/dsymbol/yt-dlp-gui
https://stacher.io

I used converto.io, it preserved the metadata and thumbnail as the album art. Not sure if it does now.

 

+1 for ClipGrab

 

I mostly use loader.to, but there are plenty of options. I recommend checking this article on YouTube to MP3 converters to see all the most popular tools.
