But I did find a few that clearly might have been uploaded to Deezer as 320K MP3s with their 20.5kHz cut-off, but based on replies on Reddit, it is sometimes just mastered that way, “Often for dumb reasons”.

free-mp3-download.net (but don’t forget to backup your music collection)
Edit: Unlike what the website name suggests, it allows you to download FLACs, and not just MP3s. These come from Deezer HiFi.
Oh thank you for this 😍

What is its source? Torrents in background?
From what I could find, Deezer using free trial Deezer HiFi accounts.

So they just save the lower resolution YouTube audio into FLAC?
No. Very much no. I wonder where he found that.

Also, this is faster.
Yt-dlp can rip from a lot of website though, not just youtube. Here’s a full list
