As a person that does most of his music making in plain old analog
(including a tape recorder), I miss the point of having a web service
doing audio stuff, i.e. what can SC do in the browser that I couldn't do

In principle, in practice youtube-dl[1] still works pretty well ;)
However not without labor on the part of the developer.
I suspect there will be a way, as long as YT allows watching videos
without logging in - which would get a lot of people upset.
