Yt-dlp takes urls as an input, not libraries. It can rip from SoundCloud, Bandcamp, etc. Often places where small artists are uploading in the highest quality.

I am well aware but any artist that is signed to a large-ish label is unlikely to publish on bandcamp, much less soundcloud. There aren't 50 ways to pirate mainstream music, it's either the old-school way or ripping off youtube. Or so a friend told me.

And any artists that do have a bandcamp I would feel bad about downloading their music without paying for it, these guys usually aren't T-Swift rich...

Yeah, most of the music I want isn't on those platforms. Honestly, I tried torrenting music for a while but with the variety I wanted, my disk speed was too slow for my torrent client to keep up. Now I just suck it up and pay for Tidal.
