Format Flexibility: While optimized for MP3, it can export to M4A, OGG, and FLAC formats.
The 320 kbps Limit: The app allows you to output files at up to 320 kbps. However, because YouTube stores audio as AAC or Opus (typically capped around 126–256 kbps), saving as a 320 kbps MP3 transcodes the file. This means it uses a larger file size to prevent quality loss, but it cannot artificially make the original source sound better than YouTube’s native compression.
