This is what I use for my personal archive:
yt-dlp -f bestaudio/best --extract-audio --embed-metadata --embed-thumbnail --recode opus --audio-quality 0It does recode to
opusbut since thebestaudiois usually in that format already, you don't need it most of the time. You can skip the--recode opuspart if you want to. I keep it because I like having a "uniform" collection. You can probably change thebestaudio/bestpart to simplybestaudiowithout losing much as well.Does it skip the recode completely if the format is already opus?
Yes, it does. It just repackages it from
.m4ato.opuswithout re-encoding the actual audio stream.
