Besides outertune there’s harmonymusic as well
None protect your IP if not using a non self hosted frontend like invidio or piped, cause if self hosted then you’re providing your IP any ways. So now a days actually private is kind of hard. But these applications for sure help a lot.
I tried it out on my laptop that’s running Fedora and so far it’s great. it’s a shame that the development of it has ended.
I’m thinking of using Outertune when i get myself a pixel and install GrapheneOS on it.
Outertune is great!

yt-dlp can download in audio formats (and also download whole playlists at once)
Not without Deno anymore, google just took a great big shit on it :(
2025.09.26 can still do it without deno. Besides, when the change happens, node and bun (never heard about bun before) will be supported as well, not just deno, but they will require extra arguments passed to yt-dlp. If using yt-dlp directly, and already having node or bun installed, no need for deno then.
oh bruh wtf
For android I use OpenTune from f-droid:

Not sure about a web client though.
