DON’T. Use 160kbps Opus instead, all modern phones should support it. You can halve the size of your library while still enjoying the quality of 320kbps mp3.
I don’t use embedded lyrics myself, but AFAIK Ogg (and by extension Opus) supports embedding lyrics using OggKate. Whether your player supports lyrics embedded in Ogg, is a whole other topic…
i have 50gb of music that accumulated over the years. my phone has 128gb drive. no way i would be able to use flacs
I have a collection of flacs but convert them for my phone to something lossless
I assume you mean lossy?
Yes, indeed
Considering it’s going through a junky phone dac or Bluetooth earbud dac, convert them to 320 mp3 and store that on ya phone.

How’s the tagging when converting over to Opus?
I assume it supports the basics like Album and Artists but what about tags like embedded lyrics or ReplayGain?

ReplayGain is supported.
I just stick to 320 for mp3s because I’m comfortable with it.
