    You can tell the difference between 320kbps and 160kbps in a blind test?

    If you can tell anything above 160 you’re in a select minority (and using great equipment). Most people will never have any use for 320.

      Youtube actually uses 128kbps opus, which should be significantly better than 160kbps mp3

      but the real problem is that you can’t know what quality the uploader used, it all gets recompressed by youtube.
