why the fuck isn't this the standard for all music yet?
Because you're a fucking retard.
>>54572206
media has drilled "mp3" and "wav" into everyone's heads so hard for many years that any other file format normies will think are viruses
>>54572231
what a post! how thoughtful of you to contribute nothing to this thread whatsoever. thank you, good sir!
>>54572242
with some heavy marketing, it would go into the same place as mp3 and wav.
>>54572257
theoretically, yes
but it really needs heavy marketing
>>54572206
>lossy compression
I'd rather shoot myself in the ears
>>54572275
it's lossy compression alright, but when you compare it to flac, i can't even hear the difference
because e-ac3 is literally the only codec anyone should be using right now
>>54572300
you couldnt even hear the difference between flac and properly transcoded mp3
>>54572364
opus' file size is shorter than mp3, though
>>54572333
>>54572484
in practice eac3 has scored better in quality tests than mp3, flac, and aac
Because their logo looks like a speech bubble with an esophagus and stomach.

>doesn't support 44.1khz

that's why

>why the fuck isn't this the standard for all music yet?
It was literally ten years too late.
>>54572562
>scores better in quality tests than flac
STEP ASIDE OPUS, we have a format that's BETTER THAN LOSSLESS
>>54572761
My bad meant to say better/similar
You got me there
How come when I use Opus, it sounds worse than Vorbis at the same bitrate? Maybe it has more details, but it also sounds very harsh, too much treble.
>>54574487
What bitrate?
>>54572761
What is going on in this pic
>>54574525
ebin le maymays
>>54574504
Around 50 kbit
>>54572333
Enjoy your proprietary format, faggot.
>>54574637
Ah okay, that's pretty low for music - both should have easily audible artifacts, but in general Opus should do better. If you have samples where Vorbis does better here, I'd recommend sending them to the Opus developers.
because it's obscure and hipster faggots don't get to decide standards.
>>54574525
Dunno but I want that mug
Replaygain doesn't work with Opus. It's shit.
why is this better than aac exactly?
>>54575534
I tried again with another test file, it seems like Opus does sound slightly less muffled, but at the cost of harsh treble that wasn't in the original.
The low bitrate is for 4chan WebMs, though Opus is not supported for some dumb reason.
>>54575694
It works with foobar2k in Windows and Neutron in Android.
>>54572388
Store in FLAC, stream in Opus then. Disk is cheap.
>>54572206
Most human never heard about flac. None have heard about opus. Most are lucky about 192 kbps YouTube rips.
I challenge you to do a proper empirical blindtest with 256kbps mp3, 320kbps mp3, and FLAC
>>54575922
how is this related to opus adoption
>>54572664
Thanks
Most people have their music collection in MP3 and there is no reason for them to switch.
>>54572206
any advantages over vorbis?
>>54576585
Smaller but >>54572664
Not as supported as vorbis
I dunno OP
Maybe cuz the tech sector is sup3r cans1r?
>>54575701
because it's free, unlike aac
I've wanted to use aac before but just couldn't because muh licensing and no available codecs
Because Apple hates any standards that aren't theirs, and Android players have been very slow to add support for it (I'm looking at you Poweramp).
