I am doing just that. I indeed use Youtube Music for discovering and downloading new tracks, but alos yt-dlp every video I like. Because I am afraid Youtube might at some point be taken away, like loginwalled.
I would never be able to afford Apple tech even if I somehow didn’t mind using a phone I cannot install arbitrary apps on. So yeah, no idea. I use RiMusic on my Android, but the downloads happen on the laptop with yt-dlp.
At least Youtube Music can be used with third-party clients.
Imo yt-dlp and self-host that stuff while you’re still can.

DLP can pull audio tracks and drop you mp3s as well.
That is exactly what I do. A client on the phone for discovery on the go, later yt-dlp on the laptop and proper tagging.
any clients for ios?
