At what bitrate do you encode music?

[Asral]

FLAC for archival and to use as a lossless transcoding source.

Ogg Vorbis for listening, currently using q9 quality (~320 kbps). q9 is overkill, but the files are still small enough that it's not an issue on my devices so why not.

Like... what software is the go-to on Android these days?

I use BubbleUPnP. Don't be put off by the name. It's a very accomplished bit of software. My main usecase though is that it supports OpenHome renderers which I use a lot.
