Why the fuck isn't this the standard for all music yet?

why the fuck isn't this the standard for all music yet?

Because you're a fucking retard.

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

what a post! how thoughtful of you to contribute nothing to this thread whatsoever. thank you, good sir!

with some heavy marketing, it would go into the same place as mp3 and wav.

theoretically, yes
but it really needs heavy marketing

>lossy compression
I'd rather shoot myself in the ears

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

you couldnt even hear the difference between flac and properly transcoded mp3

opus' file size is shorter than mp3, though

...

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
>uses up a ton of resources

that's why

>why the fuck isn't this the standard for all music yet?
It was literally ten years too late.

>scores better in quality tests than flac

STEP ASIDE OPUS, we have a format that's BETTER THAN LOSSLESS

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.

What bitrate?

What is going on in this pic

ebin le maymays

Around 50 kbit

Enjoy your proprietary format, faggot.

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.

Dunno but I want that mug

Replaygain doesn't work with Opus. It's shit.

why is this better than aac exactly?

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 Sup Forums WebMs, though Opus is not supported for some dumb reason.

It works with foobar2k in Windows and Neutron in Android.

Store in FLAC, stream in Opus then. Disk is cheap.

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

how is this related to opus adoption

Thanks

Most people have their music collection in MP3 and there is no reason for them to switch.

any advantages over vorbis?

...

Smaller but Not as supported as vorbis

I dunno OP
Maybe cuz the tech sector is sup3r cans1r?

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).
