Just use yt-dlp instead of relying on websites that shove ads in your face and may do what ever they want to the files you're downloading?

The worst ever suggestion and unfortunately the most upvoted. Do not ever download music from youtube, free-mp3-download was a front-end for deezer with flacs and 320 kbps mp3 and music on youtube is only about 160 kbps, that's kinda okay for streaming but absolutely ridiculous if you want to download and keep it.

You can use yt-dlp to download from other website, not only on YouTube.
