That depends on which MP3 though. Is it 128kbps? Because that's dog shit. 192 will sound fine to most. I don't go below 256 and that's only if I can't get 320.
256 is solid but V0 is the best balance of size and quality for me. I also respect V2 for the smaller but still quality 192kbps VBR files
Anybody using a 30 year old encoder instead of opus really isn't trying when it comes to lossy audio.
Well damn now I have to AB test some codecs
I should have specified CD-quality audio anyone that’s seen a deep fried jpeg should know why you don’t compress a mp3 too much
