Sites for downloading high quality music files (lemmy.razbot.xyz)

I am making a script that can download high quality music files, currently from free-mp3-download.net and slavart.gamesdrive.net. Are there any others? I could look into torrenting things automatically and maybe looking into Lidarr? Not 100% on how that works but any ideas on what else I could add or links to other places I can download high quality music files lmk.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I've found Jackett that could be promising, but still open to other ideas/sites.
EDIT: Thank you all for your responses.

I'm getting all my music for free from Youtube Music with yt-dlp

Quality of YouTube downloads ain't anywhere near the 'high quality' OP is after.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Propably yes, but not because of the codec google uses.

Best you get from YouTube is 128kbps (ish, it's VBR) without paying or 256kbps with Premium. I would consider high quality to start at 320kbps minimum.

That's not true, youtube uses opus with vbr up to 160kpbs without premium. Premium gets 256kbps aac. 320kbps with opus is overkill

Imo Yt Music has way better quality than atleast Spotify and it has almost everything you'd ever need

You are correct that it's 160kbps, I spoke a bit too vaguely as most of them are listed between ~95-130 by my music software instead of the peak of 160. I still maintain that YT Premium are "good enough" and not "high quality", but that's a highly subjective statement. The point remains though that you cannot get that 256kbps without paying.
