QOA, the Quite OK Audio Format
I was reading that article, and geez, as a non-programmer I have to ask, why does libflac look like such a nightmare compared to flacloader? It's like night and day. Is this a "WireGuard makes OpenVPN look quite silly" moment?

[Audio] The MQA Controversy: How an inferior format tried to take over the high-end audio market and caused major backlash
Excessive licensing costs weren’t the only concern surrounding MQA though. MQA is touted as being DRM free, with audio streams able to be stored in the very popular, open source FLAC format. Only the lower resolution 16-bit audio is truly DRM free however. MQA’s authentication watermarking must be present in the file, and properly validated at playback, otherwise MQA decoders will refuse to unfold the audio to it’s full resolution. In this way, MQA acts as a sort of “soft-DRM”, that prevents recordings form being played at their maximum quality without both permission from the rights holder, and validation from MQA Ltd. All the issues surrounding MQA’s licensing and copy protection are explored in more detail in this article from 2017.

Does epub compress well?
You should look at Precomp - an apparently abandoned, but awesomely working arhiver that is dedicated to compressing those ZIP-based formats, and compresses them twice-thrice as small as LZMA2 can.
- Any suggestion for compressing a large batch of photos and videos into a single zip?

Putting 5,998,794 books on IPFS
You can also have a look at this packer. It compresses PDF and EPUB 2-3 times smaller than 7z at maximum settings, at half the speed. I keep all my books in it and never had a problem.
- .bin compression

libgen currently adds around 1,300 books a day
There is an opensource archiver called precomp that is designed specifically for e-documents and compresses them 2-3 times smaller than 7z in ultra mode. It works, and I keep my e-books in it. However, it seems nobody else does, and development has stopped due to lack of interest.

AWS switch from gzip to zstd – about 30% reduction in compressed S3 storage
There are tools like preflate [1] or precomp [2] that guarantees a bitwise identical reconstruction, of course modulo bugs.

[2] https://github.com/schnaader/precomp-cpp/ (which internally makes use of preflate)

Which compression method for archiving OS ISOs?
You may use "precomp" in order to seek and uncompress those parts. Then you can use a better compression algorithm : http://schnaader.info/precomp.php
-
Is there any research as to what's the best way to compress each file type?
Precomp http://schnaader.info/precomp.php is a program which will seek compressed parts and decompress those parts in order to compress with another algorithm. This greatly improve compression ratio with the other algorithm.
