Speaking as someone who has filled up his phone pushing music onto it via SyncThing - 320 kbps MP3 gets me a lot further than FLAC!

Fair enough; makes me wish that MicroSD card slots were still standard on phones. If you had a 512GB card, then you'd be able to get an awful lot of lossless music on there.

I've heard Opus is a better bang-for-buck for the size to quality ratio, but I haven't tried it yet.

Try opus, it sounds dramatically better and has smaller file sizes
