As someone who is thinking about moving to opus for non-archival music playback, what sort of bitrate targets do you use for encoding?
I know opusenc uses VBR, but as far as I can tell there is no V0 equivalent that is accepted for high quality lame (MP3) encoding.
- shmerl 12y agoUntil now I used to encode it with --bitrate 160 which is 160 Kbps variable bitrate. But from the test I linked above it seems to be an overkill, since 96 is already approaching encoding transparency for many people. So the optimal value can be somewhere above 96 and below 160. You can experiment for yourself, but I'd give a bit more room than your own transparency level to make it a safer bet for more people.
