surprised no mention of yt-dlp https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp - has support for (currently supported: best (default), aac, alac, flac, m4a, mp3, opus, vorbis, wav
yt-dlp downloads music from youtube which is encoded in either opus or aac. Yt dlp doesn't actually download flacs,mp3... but convert the music from youtube into the desired format.
ah yea its not true lossless, but optimized upscale or the sort - but better than some ripping options out there
no it's not an upscale or anything like that, you're just making the file bigger but the audio bits/samples are 100% identical to the already damaged source file from youtube.
it's like converting a JPEG back into RAW, you can technically do it, but it's not gaining anything.
