hmm, searching for "Whitebeard - No we can't" didn't list me the video that actually exists at Youtube.
That's because, for now, TubeDrop only searches through videos that support at least 720p for faster conversion.
I'm a user of PwnYouTube (meta converter service), to convert Youtube material to the highest possible MP3 quality.
What I like about your service is that I as a user don't get bugged with quality settings and cropping settings - which raises the question which quality you use.
I'm also curious to know about how Youtube MP3 rips relate (from a fidelity perspective) to "native" high quality MP3s.
Good question. TubeDrop (for now) only returns search results that support at least 720p. That means all search results are videos whose audio is encoded in at least 152 kb bitrate with 2 channels at sampling rate of 44100. Some videos that are encoded in WebM have a bitrate of 192 kb. TubeDrop automatically defaults to 192 kb bitrate with 2 channels at 44100. That is essentially the highest quality you can get from YouTube, so why bother customizing it?
