Convert MP3 to OPUS

MP3, short for MPEG Audio Layer 3, is a digital audio coding format that revolutionized music storage and distribution. Developed by the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG), it was first introduced in the early 1990s. Its primary advantage lies in its ability to compress audio files significantly without major loss in sound quality, making it ideal for efficient storage and transmission over the internet. MP3 files are widely used for music playback on various digital devices, including computers, smartphones, and portable media players, due to their balance of compression efficiency and sound fidelity.

Opus, associated with Opus Audio, is an open, royalty-free audio codec designed for high-quality voice and music streaming. Introduced by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) in 2012, it adapts seamlessly to various applications like VoIP, videoconferencing, in-game chat, and live music performances. Known for its versatility, low latency, and high compression efficiency, Opus is widely adopted in modern communication platforms and web applications, making it a cornerstone in contemporary audio technology.
