Opus is the best. Anyone still using mp3s in 2023 is living in the past. Some users can still hear a difference between 256kbit/s mp3 audio and uncompressed audio while Opus reaches transparency at about 120kbit/s.
In the realm of compression transparency is when the compressed medium is indistinguishable from the source audio by a human
That and you can just download opus from youtube using yt-dlp lol. It’s 100% great. Anybody transcoding youtube audio to mp3 is definitely doing it wrong lol
Huh, I was wondering why that was becoming the default everywhare. Time to Re-encode my library so I can carry more of it on my pocket computer. Tech is awesome.

How does it differ/compare to aac?
Under 100 kbps it sounds significantly better. I have decided that i dont want to choose on the least shitty lossy option tho, when i can have flac.
