How are you going to recreate the MP3 audio artifacts that give a lot of music its originality, when encoding to OPUS?

Oh, a gramophone user.

Joke aside, i find ogg Opus often sounding better than the original. Probably something with it’s psychoacoustic optimizations.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
