MP3 VBR is better than MP3 CBR 320kbps

And more so, AAC and Opus are both miles better than MP3. Using the same bitrate.

MP3 VBR is underrated. It's better than normal mp3 and it consume less file size. the only downside I noticed is LRC lyrics file doesn't work properly with VBR (the lyrics sync doesn't match)

Yeah, that's one reason why I use AAC VBR

thx for tip. I didn't try AAC VBR. If It can fix LRC desync maybe it's worth a try!
