do a blind test between ogg 320kbps which Spotify premium uses and FLAC and tell me your score then
my point is, if you're not working on that audio, there is no audible difference between two
Depends on the song as well.
Are we comparing a rip of a 1990's album to a remaster, or a vinyl rip?
I guess if you really want to find a baseline, pick a band that's known for audio quality and pick an album with the best.
I compress everything with Opus 192kbp/s (way over the human ear). I get the quality of FLAC with the size of an MP4. Also Spotify sucks with their AI slop.
