Were you getting anything better than 128Kbps in quality?

Prior to joining Spotify, I extracted the audio from the YT videos I was  
interested in carrying around with me or for producing an mp3/cd for the  
car.  The audio sound always seemed subpar.

The variety of --options for youtube-dl are absolutely amazing and well  
thought out.  I can see the convenience of pulling in a playlist based on  
date criteria to get get just the videos one has missed, for example.
