so this might be a little embarrassing, but how do I create a torrent and upload to a tracker? (lemmy.world)

I've been seeding the torrents that I download since the old days of Limewire, but I've always download and re-shared by seeding.
But a few months ago I couldn't find a set of audiobooks I'd been looking for with the original narrators from the 90s.
I finally found a set on CD on eBay and coverted those to mp3 and loaded them on my phone, but it occurred to me that others might also be looking for a complete version of the series too and wanted to share that media.
Apologies if it's an obvious answer that I somehow missed.

The common standard for audiobooks isn't FLAC or WAV, it's chapter track MP3 or chapterized M4B. The vast majority of audiobooks are encoded at 64 or 128 kbps. I wish the minimum was 128kbps but that's where the audiobooks community has been for like a decade now.

Nvmd. thought it's about music cds and not audiobooks.
But for music cds it's correct, right?

I've been doing my research and I feel that opus should be the way to go? Can have chapters and compression is the best there is. I read that m4b keeps track of where you left... but I feel that that should not be the task of an audio file?
