> using youtube-dl to download music etc. and rip it with ffmpeg

For those who don't know, youtube-dl can do this oob if ffmpeg is installed:

  youtube-dl --extract-audio --audio-format <best|mp3|ogg|*> <url>

Some websites even make audio streams available separately. You can learn about those with the -F flag, and then select an audio stream with the -f flag. E.g. on youtube, you can use

    [youtube-dl | yt-dlp] -f 140 <url>

to download 128k mpeg4 audio.
