Visits to music piracy websites went up more than 13 percent last year, a new report says. The majority of those visits were to sites that allow users to download the audio from YouTube URLs.

Weird... yt-dlp -f "ba" url

Never need to use one of those horrible malware laden download sites again..

That's not how I would get a discography, a non YouTube artist (some international ones), a whole album or lossless though - or am I mistaken?

Makes sense, thanks for pointing it out!

Just FYI, yt-dlp does work with other sites, too. So you can get some pretty decent quality by downloading from bandcamp for example. But not all that what your asking for unfortunately...
