Hi guys,
I have subscribed to YouTube Premium, but whenever I try to download a song to subtitle it, the song is not downloaded and therefore I cannot subtitle it.
Kind regards,

YouTube Premium is not meant to be used that way. It works a bit like if you download a movie to watch it offline (from the likes of Prime Video, Disney+ etc.) you can't pull the file from a "download" section.
Y2mate has a lot of horrible pop-ups, you need to have your browser well configured to deal with this.
NewPipe is an open source Android app that allows you the real off-line experience: download onto your device a file you can read in any other app. To download it safely, install F-Droid and then download it. If you know how to you can also directly get the apk package. NewPipe also allows watching without ads and has a direct feed from SoundCloud.
F-Droid is an alternate app store, designed for open-source non-Google apps. To get it on your device, you may need to tweak a few settings (like disabling Play Protect for the time of the operation etc.).
I'm planning to make a video about this, because I have to say that the app is very good.
Hope this helps!
