Non destructive editing is more important with the new formats, because they compress to smaller files and cause greater problems when you unpack and recompress them.
This is why mp3 still is a good format for 2024.
yt-dlp -x [YouTube or other url] yt-dlp -i --format "bestaudio" -x --convert-thumbnail jpg --add-metadata --embed-metadata --embed-thumbnail --audio-format "best" -o "%(autonumber)02d %(title)s (%(upload_date>%Y-%m-%d)s) [%(id)s].%(ext)s" "https:// ... youtube URL ..."

This is what I prefer: Downloading original OPUS audio, demuxing to .opus, without reconversions using a bash oneliner. Highest Quality you can get from YouTube.
Appreciate the minimalistic UI, no frills. 170 MB for a YouTube MP3 Downloader seems a bit steep though.
Opus has an advantage over AAC-LC (not HE variants) at lower bitrates, but by 128 kbps Opus loses any efficiency advantage. AAC-LC is going to give you slightly better quality and far broader device compatibility.

Youtube has been pretty good at fighting the online tools, meanwhile, spammers have been pretty good at filling search results with non-tools full of ads.
I've found it difficult to do the occasional drive-by download, because none of the old tools (kickyouotube, etc) that I remember the name of work or exists, and googling for online services returns junk.
a) highlighting that this extracts the audio track only (not everyone is 100% firm with their audio and video formats)
b) investigating whether one could, instead of downloading the highest video quality and then discarding it, download only the highest quality audio? (yt-dlp and cousins allow that.)
I think it's pretty clear from the title that this is audio-only.

I was hoping for a working download for NPR Music, but it failed me last week for Kiefer’s set on Tiny Desk. Couldn’t airplay or chromecast it (without doing the whole screen, with all the trade offs that entails), and HDMI did a weird thing on macOS where the playback was sped up in every major browser.
Had a resort to a Firefox extension to download the video and Plex it in order to use the TV. Of course, I didn’t see if they had a Roku or similar app, and was just impatient to wait for the YouTube upload. Sigh.
My usual is:
yt-dlp -f 140 [url]
yt-dlp -f bestaudio <url>
it directly downloads the audio from youtube and does not require ffmpeg unlike the -x option. moreover, you can specify format (m4a or default webm) like so - replace "bestaudio" with "bestaudio[ext=<format>]"
this only falls short unless you explicitly need it in mp3 container.
On Windows in Chrome, it indeed works.
For most mobile users, using the more modern VP9 and HEVC essentially just burns battery life, and even modern GPU based desktop users usually see their card warm up on YT.
MP4 is far from perfect, but play/resume/skip-to location media mods for a web-server are common (js or html5 support is stable.) This saves a lot of grief setting up media servers, but most people now just use an online platform... rather than figure this stuff out.
I kind of miss the days a lazy layman coudn't post lame garbage video content.
Have a wonderful day =3
DASH is the correct way to do this. The combined formats are legacy.
Also, MPEG-DASH is the typical bloated design-by-committee standard, that have twenty ways to do the same thing and that makes it very hard to implement fully. It's PDF or SVG all over again.
(I uses to work on an implementation of a DASH web player that had much better coverage of the standard that the reference implementation back in 2015, and I can tell you it was a PITA)
HLS, while a bit primitive in a few annoying way (inclusing the fact that it mandated, at the time, the use of MPEG-2 TS), is at least a pragmatic standard that is reasonably implementable. (Even though HLS.js being really good compared to the DASH alternative makes it less likely that you'd need to do it by yourself).
2) Any lossy re-encoding step degrades quality. You'll get the highest quality by saving the stream direct from the server and skipping the re-encode step. Just pass --extract-audio and skip all those other arguments.

The other kind of comparison to consider is transparency - the ability of a lossy codec to be indistinguishable from the uncompressed source. MP3 is supposed to achieve this at 192 kbps, while OPUS can do it in 128.

The best choice, at the end of the day, is wholly dependent of the context of the usage. If all of the source is in MP3 to begin with, it doesn't make sense to convert.
AAC has very wide support. Only convert AAC to MP3 if your player really doesn't support AAC.
