I used yt-dl for downloading, but since I have a decent flat, I switched to just using yt music with adblocker or revanced.
What benefits do torrents of music provide over just downloading from yt?
Youtube audio quality is noticeably shitty through decent speakers or headphones.
Theoretically youtube doesn't offer as high a quality as flac or wav files do.
Practically for most people it probably doesn't matter
Pretty much it,streaming is so convenient too
At some point I wrote a docker container (with some help from a friend) which regularly executes yt-dlp to download my youtube playlists to my media server.
I mostly do that because I have limited mobile data and want offline copies of music
Being able to download a full discography in one go, not just songs.
