Why?

OPUS ON WHAT WHEN

>lossless audio
>ever
Why?

Just because we can't distinguish a difference doesn't mean our brains can't unconsciously see the subtle differences

archiving.

listening to mp3s doesn't treat my depression as well as flacs

try opus

mp3 is deprecated

Maybe not on your shitty headphones. However, I can hear the difference on mine.

>The last.

This
I really wished it supported 44,1 khz though.

Some decoders fuck when going to 48 to 44,1 khz

Honestly, mp3. It has almost universal hardware support, is quickly encoded and decoded and past 192 kbps it's transparent and it really doesn't matter whether you use anything else.

>370 kb file size

>Past 192kbps it's transparent

its true, if you convert lossy to flac that is.
then upload to w.cd
>best audio faggots
they wont even notice.

> Not illegally breaking into recording studios and stealing master tapes
Don't touch me you filthy plebeians

>huge cutout at some point
>won't even notice
i know at least 80% of the wcd fags are autismal about the spectrum

>Not kidnapping your favorite musicians and forcing them to play whenever you wish
Pathetic.

You can't get studio quality in your moms basement faggot. Master tapes are clearly the superior format as they're recorded in a proper controlled environment, not your cheetos stained basement

Opus is great but the lack of 44.1 support leading to resampling triggers my autism. It's not like I can actually hear any difference but it just feels wrong to do.

>not taking the whole studio along with all the equipment with you back home
What the fuck are you thinking

>not evolving to the point where you can perceive 4 dimensions and experiencing all music that has ever and will ever be created at the same time

Wtf are you plebs doing

I converted my CD collection (over 2,300 in storage) that was already in FLAC format for local storage at home to Opus recently, took awhile but I'm happy with the results - takes up significantly less space on my smartphone and works just fine. GoneMAD handles them without any issues, I hand-tagged all the info and verified it, added cover art embedded into each file, did ReplayGain +3 dB during the conversion process so everything is roughly ~92 dB (no sense fucking around with volume levels ever).

Works for me.

opus is based

128kbps vbr is the sweet quality/size spot imo, some would say that even 128 is overkill.

mp3 a shit

DESU this senpai
Ed Sheeran isn't making a break. He's in my basement writing music for me right now

those haven't been used in quite a long time.
