4 months ago Looks like youtube removed access to format 774 for non premium users today, but I'm keeping the issue open as most of it is still relevant

4 months ago Yeah, a format ID priority feature would be awesome. eg:
--format-id-priority 774,141,251
This would be mine for example^

4 months ago It would for example try to download format 774 at first, if no 774 is found, then switch to 141, if no 141, then 251, and so on.
EDIT: I briefly mentioned it in #1845 as Format Priority. This would ensure that people get their preferred format.

1 month ago I've been trying to get format 251 back for the past two hours with no luck, even using yt-dlp args, but the software just keeps downloading format 774 no matter what
I have just fixed yt-dlp-args. It was created with this situation in mind, yt-dlp can already handle this in wayyyy better way then I could ever implement.
--format-id-priority 774,141,251
--yt-dlp-args "--format 774/141/251/bestaudio" # bestaudio is a fallback format

Check spotdl --help / --bitrate for more info. And https://spotdl.readthedocs.io/en/latest/usage/#youtube-music-premium

1 month ago @xnetcat , About the yt-dlp args -> when --format is not specified, it defaults to mp3. Doesn't use the args specified.
And when --format is specified, it again ignores the yt-dlp format priority args & just downloads the format specified. How do you get it to fallback according to the format priority args? eg. [--yt-dlp-args "--format 774/141/251/bestaudio"]
Requested Feature
currently, when m4a or Opus is set as format in config.json, the highest quality version available is chosen and (in case of opus) the "bitrate" field is ignored (despite the documentation suggesting otherwise). This has become a problem for me now that youtube is starting to roll out 256 kbps Opus (format id 774) to youtube music uploads even for non-premium users, as spotdl now downloads these needlessly bloated files (opus is already beyond transparency at 128 kbps for most people including me), and there's no easy way of lossy to lossy transcoding either (which wouldn't be ideal anyways for obvious reasons). There might also be a need for some people to download lower quality audio such as 64 kbps opus/he-aac (maybe for playback on storage-constrained mobile devices), which again, doesn't seem to be possible currently. Another edge case were this is a problem would be people using premium cookies for access to songs unavailable without music premium (very few but there are some) but without the need for 256 kbps aac, from my understanding, in this case you would be forced to get 256 kbps aac audio even if you are perfectly happy with 128 kbps opus and prefer that format. I've been trying to get format 251 back for the past two hours with no luck, even using yt-dlp args, but the software just keeps downloading format 774 no matter what (trying to download this album: https://open.spotify.com/album/0qws44dIANrXaaErn7kGCW, which apparently has every track available in this new format).
Possible implementation
add a "format_id": field to config.json and make "bitrate": functional for opus transcoding (only seems to work for m4a) or maybe add a "high_quality": true/false field instead, which enables/disables downloading of format 774/141, this would make sense disabled by default imo.
