Actually with Opus you can compress a three minute song to 1.44 MB without it sounding absolutely terrible. I definitely don't have the best ear for music, but when I compared a three minute song I compressed with Opus at ~67kbit/s with the original, I couldn't tell the difference.

yep, 64+ Kb/s opus should sound fine on most hardware to most people :D
