Any modern codec will be fine. I like Opus.
Parker Foster
Flac
Gavin Gomez
If I encode to lossless, will they really "rot" over time, or is it just a meme?
Blake Kelly
FLAC -> 128k Opus is indistinguishable for me.
Jaxon Roberts
>bit rot
I'll let you google that, friend.
Camden Martinez
AAC 64kbps
Dylan Stewart
QAAC q127
Nathaniel Thomas
*although that's not the best quality/space since it's into placebo territory. q109 = ~256k AAC which is no compromises while being smaller than the ~320k of q127.
I don't consider degrading the audio quality to have any acceptable quality/space ratio.
John Baker
Don't reencode anything lossy
Only lossless to lossy is acceptable
Keep lossless copies for archival
Cooper Sanchez
I tried doing exactly that. I could hear the difference :c
Jose Reed
>Only lossless to lossy is acceptable
*also one lossless format to another lossless format is acceptable

Julian Rodriguez
lmao hi yan
Samuel Cox
Opus is currently the best lossy format, meaning the best ratio of quality to file size. But it's still lossy. If you have the space, just store everything lossless (my favorite format is FLAC on highest compression).
Justin Bailey
Lmao are you trolling us right now?
Gabriel Anderson
ogg vorbis for me
Thomas Robinson
It's vorbin time
Jason Hughes
Some people fell for the bit rot meme. I wish I was kidding.

mp4, final answer
Austin Miller
FLAC, compression level 8, 44.1 or 48 kHz, 16 bit, full metadata (calculate ReplayGain yourself and download the rest with Picard).
Blake Perry
I convert my mp3s from youtube to flac because it's higher quality.
