How to get started with pirating music (mp3s)? (midwest.social)

Do I use a website to download songs off of YouTube or Spotify?

Where should I store the music? I haven't any clue about self-hosting. I'm running GrapheneOS, is it enough to save the songs in Files and play in an app like Auxio? Maybe sync with SyncThing?

What's the best way to compress mp3 files but still retain the quality (even possible)?

Could really use some help as I'm very inexperienced. :)

Is there any program that downloads from youtube without me needing to find the URL I want? Ideally I would like to search a catalog of genre/artist/album and click the download button. It ought to maybe find the biggest youtube channel with the artist's name in it and then find the song.

Not to my knowledge, but music.youtube.com is a pretty clean interface, and it’s easy enough to grab links from. Keep in mind, you can feed yt-dlp both playlist (including album) and channel (artist) links, as well as individual videos.

True enough. Thank you.
