@lamb @wyatt Fortunately, Opus is available out of the box pretty much everywhere nowadays except in Safari prior to macOS 15.4. This was helped by Opus being a collaboration between vendors (Microsoft and Xiph), not just something coming out of Xiph's or Google's cathedral. I do see on https://caniuse.com/opus that Safari supported Opus in Apple's CAF container before Xiph's Ogg container; might Apple have identified some obscure patent encumbering Ogg?

And you're right that Opus soundly beats MP3 in the "bitrate needed to stop being terrible" measure.

Opus audio format | Can I use... Support tables for HTML5, CSS3, etc

"Can I use" provides up-to-date browser support tables for support of front-end web technologies on desktop and mobile web browsers.

Doing some test broadcasts with an external stereo microphone hooked into an iRig > iPhone XR.

We proudly use the high quality, open source Ogg/Opus to broadcast live on the Subjam platform 😎

Apple added OPUS and FLAC support to AudioToolbox a while ago (iOS 17), but for some reason AVPlayer does not support it.

While I appreciate it, it feels very half ass. It’s like they want to use it internally (iMessage Audio Messages are using OPUS), but they don't want to incentivize a larger adoption of it.

So if you want to use OPUS to play audio, you need to build the whole HTTP Streaming mechanic on your own.

Das #Xiph Directory ist wohl gerade nach Bad Gateway umgezogen.

Hat jemand einen Status? Wann das wieder läuft?

Never mind that I saved this to the wrong place.

I like #PhonographPlus because I can edit the tags. There are so many tag fields! I decided for full albums, some are worth writing the tracklist in a [custom] field. Perhaps there is a better choice, I'm not sure yet but, this will do.

He documented the process on his blog, joining the tracks as a single stream and compressing it down to 6.7 kbps until it fit a single 1.44 Mio 3½-inch disk.

An album on a floppy.
