Mp3s from YT are garbage quality, it's double transcoding from YT's already low quality input.
You can download audio from YouTube as 160kbps opus files, which aren't lossless sure but it's the highest quality you can get from YouTube if alternate means aren't an option.
And that's trusting that whoever uploaded the track had a good quality source. And it's still double encoded.
Any official uploads from recent years are going to be just fine. And if not then maybe their spotify upload is broken too
Hq is equivalent to 320kbps, noticably better than YT quality
