I’m super lazy and can’t be bothered manually converting each one, is there any good tools/sites I can use to convert the whole playlist? I used to use youtube-DLG but it seems to have stopped working.

    There might be, but as a standard mp3 is by far the most cross compatible format on any device. Plus, if you feel like it later you can just create a program to convert all the mp3 files into other formats.

      OOG Vorbis has been around for years, what device are you imagining that can’t play it? A Zune?

      Likely they are putting it on mobile phone, and both major OSes can handle those files.

        My phone will play .ogg with VLC, but the little bar that tracks song progress is broken, same with .opus. .flac works but phone manufacturers have decided I don’t need storage space and I instead need their cloud, which I refuse to use, so .mp3 it is.

          If you’re having issues with OOG, then try AAC. It was designed to be the successor to MP3, and when MP3 is phased out in the coming years, it will be in favor of AAC. I use Vorbis because it’s open source, but there are other options than that.

        Ogg has been superspeed by Opus. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opus_(audio_format) “Opus replaces both Vorbis and Speex for new applications, and several blind listening tests have ranked it higher-quality than any other standard audio format at any given bitrate until transparency is reached, including MP3, AAC, and HE-AAC.”

      Re-encoding a lossy format is not a good idea because it will degrade the quality even more.
