      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?

        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…
