3 days agoCan you actually hear the difference between 128 and 256kbps on the devices you are listening on?
I have a tendency to want “the best”, but have rarely actually needed “the best”. I export my lossless FLAC music collection to much lower bitrate opus files, which I can then access from my VPS. The switch to opus makes the space requirements for the VPS drastically cheaper. Going with the lower bitrate might make things easier for you.
One of my favorite sayings, which I rarely follow myself, is: Perfect is the enemy of good.

I’m sorry if I’ve insulted someone. I’ll up the bitrate next time I’m doing an export 🙂
I was under the impression opus was much better at the lower bitrates than the more common codecs.
