Most people are archiving in FLAC but the reality is that almost nobody can hear the difference between 320 (or even V0) and FLAC. So in cases where the disk space makes a difference mp3 still makes sense.

I care, because I’ve been using streaming media for quite a few years years and not kept up with any changes

I use m4a format simply because my downloader uses that format. But I think m4a sound quality is better than mp3.

That's mp4, which is 33% better than mp3 /j
