This is what I use for my personal archive:
yt-dlp -f bestaudio/best --extract-audio --embed-metadata --embed-thumbnail --recode opus --audio-quality 0
It does recode to
opus
but since thebestaudio
is usually in that format already, you don't need it most of the time. You can skip the--recode opus
part if you want to. I keep it because I like having a "uniform" collection. You can probably change thebestaudio/best
part to simplybestaudio
without losing much as well.Does it skip the recode completely if the format is already opus?
Yes, it does. It just repackages it from
.m4a
to.opus
without re-encoding the actual audio stream.
