What is the best format settings to store a physical music?

I did look at Flac but the data is almost the same size as the uncompressed Wav and none of my devices or self hosted services seem designed to play flac files. Everything gets converted.

What are people using?

    Tons of legacy devices. Old car infotainment systems, old “smart” TVs, old players that don’t have Rockbox ports, etc.

      It’s probably still more efficient to keep a 192k opus and a 320k mp3 around than one flac.
