Hey peeps |

I was wondering whether any of you has made any experience with the Opus |
| 4 |
media format yet. It’s the new wonder audio codec with superb quality |
| 5 |
even at very low bitrates. |
| 6 |
|

I converted a 200 MB podcast MP3 from 128 kbps stereo to 24 kbps mono |
| 8 |
with astounding results. But because I converted it via decoding to WAV |
| 9 |
over a pipe, it is not tagged. Opus-tools only intalls an encoder, |
| 10 |
decoder and info tool, but no metadata modifier. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Thus my main interest right now is to find a way to tag opus files. |
| 13 |
Kid3, my main tagger, claims to support it, but it doesn’t show the |
| 14 |
.opus file I created. A friend of mine said Opus uses ogg as container, |
| 15 |
but renaming to .ogg only gave me an invalid format error. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
I have the opus gstreamer plugin installed, but Clementine doesn’t |
| 18 |
recognise the .opus file yet, it seems. The second concern is, of |
| 19 |
course, using opus. Fortunately cmus, my current primary media player, |
| 20 |
will support it in its upcoming version 2.6. So right now, the only way |
| 21 |
I can listen to opus is through mplayer. |
