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.

whats the difference between opus and 320 mp3?
The point is 140kbps opus is almost identical to 320kbps mp3 for human so it saves over 50% size for the same quality. Also it's a royalty free format.
neat. Though now i wish my ipod supported opus (besides rockbox) but thats much nicer to know!
opus is higher quality at a much lower bitrate, meaning you can definitely store more songs in the opus format than in 320 mp3. opus can be constant bit rate or variable bit rate, whichever you prefer at encode time
@neo@lemmy.comfysnug.space I thought opus was voice optimized?

It is, but it's not the only thing opus is optimized for
