I don't download anything from YT so I asked Google where downloads are stored and it said...

YouTube Premium downloads are stored within the YouTube app itself, encrypted and not accessible through your device's file explorer, meaning they can only be viewed within the YouTube app.
Here's a more detailed explanation:

• Not a Traditional Download:
  Unlike regular downloads, YouTube Premium downloads are not saved as independent files on your device.
• App-Specific Storage:
  They are stored within the YouTube app's data, encrypted and designed to be played only through the app.
• Accessing Downloads:
  • Mobile: Go to your profile picture in the YouTube app, then select "Downloads".
  • PC: Go to the YouTube homepage, then click "Downloads" on the left-hand panel.
• YouTube Premium Required:
  Downloading videos is a feature exclusive to YouTube Premium subscribers.
• Offline Playback:
  Downloaded videos can be watched offline for up to 29 days.
• Adjusting download settings:
  You can adjust your download quality settings, as YouTube defaults to a standard low quality.
• Troubleshooting:
  If you're having trouble downloading videos, check your YouTube app settings, specifically the background and downloads section.
• Multiple Browsers:
  If using multiple browsers, users should stick to one browser to prevent download issues.

 

I think YouTube has always, in recent times, charged for downloads.
I also just post a link on here.

 

I have a number of Youtube videos saved on my favourites listing.

Edit: All of which are music.
