Why? Care to explain?
I have fully switched to opus for lossy since I cannot be bothered to find the sweet spot for aac encoders and bitrate. Opus simply is too good and convenient and has been for ages.
What other lossy codec is better and for what reason? Under what circumstances and use cases? I really need put effort in looking for edge cases to not choose opus.
Aac is good too, but way too many choices to make for storing mass material for the long term and be sure the quality is always good enough.
I've not had any issues myself (all players I use supported it already once I learned of Opus' existence about six years ago), but GP doesn't seem to be the only one in this thread. Platforms like youtube don't seem to have an incentive to switch, everyone wants to be compatible with them and they'll re-encode uploads anyhow
