      it’s not even the easiest method of music piracy.

      What’s easier than pressing 2 buttons in my YouTube app?

      The quality is awful

      It’s perfectly acceptable for me

      I download it from youtube because that’s where I found it, and I’m not entirely sure what’s easier than just copying/pasting the link of the page I’m already on. I’m very confident other methods have better quality, but easier is a big statement.

        Plus, it’s more likely you’ll find music you want on YouTube than Spotify or wherever since the author just needs to upload a video

          Does it just add a download button on the YouTube video? Because copy/paste is a pretty hard process to beat for simplicity.

              I mean, it means I have to search it elsewhere, but I can see the benefit if I already know a list of things I want. I actually do have to play each song I download because I find the music on youtube in the first place. I don’t know I want the song until I’ve heard it.

      Some music I like are fan covers/remixes that may only be on YouTube.
