Don't pirate. Spend the $1.50 on Bandcamp. Buy the FLAC. Close your eyes. And listen to the universe inside a single bead of water. That is Yosi Horikawa’s "Bubbles."
A: No. Furthermore, YouTube audio is usually 128kbps AAC. Converting that to FLAC creates a large, corrupted file that sounds worse than the original stream.
For the uninitiated, "Bubbles" is a masterclass in field recording and sound design.
