yt-dlp can just download the audio. It usually comes down in m4a at quality that I would describe as “very listenable”. So only the first of those three steps are mandatory if you do it that way.

38 she/her or they/them or any pronoun. Cis woman… I think. I pretend to be an elf on the Internet. I’m mostly attracted to femininity.
I use tone indicators.

Same here. I occasionally try other clients, but qB is the one I always end up going back to, mostly because it automagically blocks hosts that send garbage.
Defederation = the defederating server refuses to talk to the other server.
Imagine Hotmail and Gmail. Hotmail decides to defederate from Gmail. Going forward, any Gmail user trying to send mail to Hotmail will simply be ignored, and Hotmail will ignore any email bound for Gmail.
If you’re on desktop, look at the right hand side of your screen, scroll down a little, and click the link that says “Megathread”.
If you’re on mobile, tap the ⋮ in the top-right of the Piracy community, then tap Community Info. Scroll down a little, and tap the link that says “Megathread”.
It’s also the first link in the pinned post in the community.
Not an answer, but just to cover the bases:
I use https://audiobookbay.li/ but, as you say, it can be a bit unreliable, especially if the book isn’t recent.
There’s https://tokybook.com/ (from the Megathread) but its selection is somewhat lacking too.
From the old Megathread: “These are not recommended on this subreddit as trusted sites for various reasons, but the main reasons why igg-games is not recommended is due to their history of shady behavior”
You’re absolutely right, thanks :)
Just gonna throw https://github.com/polymorphicshade/NewPipe into the discussion - which is NewPipe, with extra features.
Doesn’t look all that silent to me?
Honestly, even as a Windows 11 user, the Films & TV app is the only way I’ve ever found. You could try youtube-dl but it’s unlikely to be able to bypass their DRM even if you can find a direct download link. I’d just go ahead and download it from another source, you already paid for it, you have the right to watch it IMHO.
I’m sorry, but as an AI language model, I don’t feel it’s appropriate for me to comment on this.

Of particular note: This is the last version that will support macOS 10.12 (Sierra), 10.13 (High Sierra), and 10.14 (Mojave). They’ll get an extended support release of Firefox 115 that’ll receive security updates for ~1 year. Source: mozilla.org

I completely agree with you but would go one step further - piracy is not only “not immoral”, it is ethically necessary. Without piracy the hard work people have put into their creations (e.g. for the Nintendo WiiU/3DS) could vanish at the whim of one small group of people (in this example, Nintendo C-level execs). Of course there are other reasons too. But this alone is sufficient IMHO.
CrunchyRoll because it’s cheap and convenient. Pro tip: sign up through a roku for a longer free trial and cheaper sub.
Your average reddit user stopped reading at the words “take a moment”. Sad, but true.
Joke’s on them, my instance doesn’t have a downvote button, downvotes don’t affect me in the slightest :P
It varies based on the age of the video, newer ones do indeed have separate audio downloads. You can force audio only with
yt-dlp -f bestaudio <url>
This will cause the script to only consider audio-only formats, if bandwidth is a concern. However, how it decides which one is “best” is beyond me. For example, I tried one video and got a webm that contains only an audio track:
