Re: Opus

Honestly different codecs (MP3/AAC/Opus/Ogg) make very little difference at high bitrates (250-320Kbps),
where opus comes into its own is its licence, and its ability to scale down to very low bitrates
in a fairly linear fashion.

If anyone is interested I did quite a lot of wqork on internet radio a few years ago including porting a
variety of codecs, mpeg transport unwrapping, and HLS (No DASH as I refused to pay for an inch of ISO specs).

I even added a quick and dirty GUI (UI programming is not my thing).

Sadly this stalled as I got a job with a HIFI company and got some free gear which does all this.

Shout if interested.
