[by-zarmius]

Hello! I would like to ask if the ability to download music from Youtube music will be added?

Description

Currently you can't download high quality audio (#25263 ) nor can you download your own uploaded music (Google Play Music is about to disappear) So it would be great if you guys supported Youtube Music

I'm willing to provide credentials with an active youtube music subscription for high-quality audios, but as far as I know, you can upload music to the platform for free

Here's the verbose log for the uploaded music which fails to download:

I'm curious about this as well. @dstftw, is there more detail we can provide to re-open this issue?
