NewNewAugustEast@lemmy.zip 1 week agoogg is better than mp3 at lower bit rates. As they increase in bit rate they become indistinguishable.
That said, this stuff is way too low quality to care about.

I like flac and I understand the human desire to get the best quality of anything. You can’t tell the difference between 25mb flac and 2,5 mb 160 kbps opus though.

Alright, I will concede that Opus at 160kbps is really good. I always knew at low bitrates it was better than mp3 but I have not used it in awhile. I store everything in flac.
But if anyone else wants to compare: opus-bitrates.anthum.com lets you compare various bit rates of Opus. I think I hear a high end distortion in 160 that I don’t hear in the 512, but it could be expectation.
