Make an opus chaptered 16kbps audiobook with freac (free GPL) freac.org (Windows, Mac, Linux)
— General Settings Filename pattern: <artist> - <album> artist = Author of audiobook album = Title of audiobook
under Tags section you only need to check Vorbis Comment as opus is the successor to ogg vorbis. You don't need ID3v2 or other ones so just uncheck the rest.
Selected encoder: Opus Audio Encoder click Configure Selected Audio Encoder
1) Encoding mode: Voice (Auto is ok too)
2) File extension: opus (oga is a container but it's for various audio codecs and opus can embed cover art and metadata and chapters)
3) Uncheck Enable variable bitrate encoding. Won't save you anything. Can use for music encoding at 96kbps though if you wish.
4) Bitrate: 16kbps which is just as good as 32kbps m4b AAC in my tests. Obviously is half the file size as 32kbps.

The S&P 500 slumped 1.8% on Monday and Tuesday, thanks to China Evergrande, the Chinese property company that looks like it is ready to default on its more-than $300 billion in debt. Cries of the next Lehman Brothers—or maybe the next Silverado?—echoed through the canyons of Wall Street as investors prepared for the worst.
What Is Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency that you can buy, sell and exchange directly, without an intermediary like a bank. Bitcoin’s creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, originally described the need for “an electronic payment system based on cryptographic proof instead of trust.” Each and every Bitcoin transaction that’s ever been made exists on a public ledger accessible to everyone, making transactions hard to reverse and difficult to fake. That’s by design: Core to their decentralized nature, Bitcoins aren’t backed by the government or any issuing institution, and there’s nothing to guarantee their value besides the proof baked in the heart of the system. “The reason why it’s worth money is simply because we, as people, decided it has value—same as gold,” says Anton Mozgovoy, co-founder & CEO of digital financial service company Holyheld.
