Why do people even use objectively inferior mp3? There' literally not a single thing mp3 does better

OGG literally contains OPUS.

But both Vorbis and OPUS is better than MP3.

I use Opus and FLAC.

>audio library of significantly smaller size
i honestly can't tell the difference of LAME V5 (~130 kbps) from flac. so i use it and have a small library and greater compatibility then ogg

>Why do people even use objectively inferior PCM? There' literally not a single thing PCM does better.

do you even sigma delta modulate bro ?

using mp3 doesnt make you look like a loser freak to stacy

THREE GIGABYTES OF PURE LOSSLESS AUDIO FOR EACH ALBUM

fuck audiophiles
if my music sounds transparent. IT'S GOOD
FUCK OFF

Most of you here wouldn't be able to tell the difference between 320kbps mp3 and flac

If you want to be pedantic, fine, CD-DAs not CD-ROMs

I use FLAC for archival mostly. Opus sounds pretty transparent enough to use for listening.

I use MP3 files I have, converting them would only incur additional loss of quality. For encoding or ripping? Don't think anyone uses lossy audio anymore, I don't and why when there's FLAC and something like a CD only takes mere 300 MB or so?

MP3 is only worth using if it's the only choice. I have an old MP3 player which I don't use, could throw it away, I guess. It supports MP3 and WAV. Period. So I'd have to use MP3 if I want to use that for some reason.

>> using lossy in 2018
yeah, no point unless it's the only choice

Do you even DSP bro?

>having 16 times bigger files for some unnoticeable quantization noise reduction

>vorbis
at least use opus

Guys, its' now even about lossy vs lossless. Most people are satisfied with quality that is comparable to 320 kb/s MP3.

Point is, you can have THE SAME level of quality and SAVE LOTS OF SPACE at the same time. Even from this point of view ogg is better.

For the same reasons fat32 is the filesystem that generic sub 100usd bluray players support.

Early adoption.

Save some space. Opus at 96kbps is clearly superior to LAME V5.

plays on older devices, that's it.
also ogg suffers the same issue in the face of Opus which is better in every single way.

>tfw I downloaded dsd128 rips, encoded them to 24/48 PCM then compressed them at 420kbps Opus.

>There' literally not a single thing mp3 does better.

Universal compatibility would be the one single thing, of course. While Ogg (and Opus too) support is still spreading, MP3 started it all and there's NO device made in the past 20 years that can't play an MP3 file.

I moved to using Opus 128 Kbps years ago, got no reason to ever use anything else and not planning to because it is the BEST lossy audio format and I doubt there's going to be anything better in the future.

MP3 without proper container is not that compatible in tagging aspect, though. ID3v1, v2.3, v.2.4, blah blah blah
Vorbiscomment is simply better.

Because my Superlux headphones, motherboard DAC and my ears can't tell the difference. I live near loud traffic. RIP audiophile dreams.

>Universal compatibility
That's not something MP3 does.

Master race.

I download from RuTracker, all FLAC for archive and then encode to opus 192VBR and listen on my phone. There's literally no better way.

Opus uses more battery than Vorbis

Nope, it's not a function of MP3 itself, but every device being able to play it for the past 20 years makes it universally compatible as an audio format.

Try harder next time, son.

It wouldn't that different unless you use some ancient DAP with rockbox.

I remember Wii had been able to play only AAC until certain optional update with MP3 only mode.

Oh, and I had encoded songs to HE-AAC ringtones for my flip phone because it was the only audio format.

This. Audiophiles are hipsters

I listen to music on YouTube.

lossy shit is lossy no matter how it is called

I won't say anything about the quality, but it's just inconvenient and inefficient way to do it.

Behold are overlord with perfect ears

not everybody is a 30 yo boomer who has started to loose his hearing

Whats wrong with flac? size? i manage to put all of my playlist and albums on a 128gb sdcard

Opus @ 96kbps is pretty much transparent to me
>m-muh archival
it's all archived by someone else

But that wasn't the point of his post at all. That was actually the opposite of what his post was about.

My Zip needs more power to decode aoTuV OGG compared to AAC or MP3

>implying Stacy even knows what music formats are

> implying Stacy isn't a chat bot

>listening to Genesis without Peter Gabriel
What a fag

I have WAV files of my own album (I'm a musician) but everything else I just have in 320kbps mp3.

I also collect vinyl and CDs, though.

If I'm encoding FLAC to OPUS, which bitrate should I use? 320?

>I also collect vinyl

I sure do hope you're not implying anything about its supposed superior quality

>people use MP3 because people use MP3

320kbps is overkill for Opus. 160kb is more than enough to be transparent.

Ok thanks

MP3 encoders are less likely to produce weird glitches than the other formats.
