I produce a podcast analyzing trending TikTok sounds. Every week I need audio from 40-60 videos.
Truth: audio quality is identical across all MP3 tools. TikTok stores audio at ~128kbps AAC. Every 320kbps claim is upsampling.
What differs:
- Single-URL (SSSTik): fine for 1-2, painful at volume
- Batch (BulkDL): 200 MP3s in ~35 min
- yt-dlp: full control, CLI only
Pro tip: maintain a companion CSV with metadata.
