PS: use flac. mp3 quality sucks donkey balls.
FLAC is excellent for lossless compression, however if your looking for
lossy compression Opus codec offers greater compression ratios and less
artifacting than MP3 and having a permissive license.

Indeed, opus is quite good. However, for music, lossless will be far
superior. Unless you are very short on hard drive space, there is no
reason to butcher perfectly goo music. Given the sizes and prices of USB
drives, SSD cards, and hard drives these days, that is not so much an
issue.
Unless Dick wants fire up Napster (!) and share audio files.....
Uh, no. Not interested in getting in trouble with the copyright police.
Just want to put my CD, vinyl, and cassette collections on a hard drive
so I can listen to the music from the computer. When I first started
doing this several years ago, we tried listening for the difference in
sound, starting with 320, which is supposedly CD quality. We didn't like
196, but we were happy with 256, and that's what I've been using since then.
