A lot. Mp3 is a proprietary format on copyright. Some idiot ceo can came and change the rules, let's add an ads mandatory for each decoder. Today with a bunch of open source good quality formats, is kind of pointless depending on a private company for your music.
This is not true. Copyright is not relevant to an encoding standard. The standard has been unchanged for 26 years and all legal claims of patent rights related to implimentations of the standard have expired before May 2017.
@swooosh@lemmy.world you should probably know about this as well.
Thanks!
patents is what you're thinking of. and all (afaik) of them relating to mp3 format have expired.
That is valid and good criticism of mp3!
I wonder if navidrome can handle switching from mp3 to opus.
From what I've heard it's impossible to go from one lossy format to another without losing quality.
I'd test it first, I don't expect hearing a difference
