Opus is your friend as long as the software you’re using supports it—besides, Apple’s AAC-LC can beat out Opus in low bitrates scenarios.

Whether you like it or not, AAC is still the standard.

You can care about quality to the extent that a lossy codec allows. Lossless is not always necessary or wanted. This is like saying “why care about transcoding quality when you can keep the video as is?”. There’s a myriad of use cases and preferences at play here.

Why does it have to be “something new”?

Unless you’re making the same type of comment on every post about yet another nonsensical and useless AI post around here, I don’t think you have much right to complain.

It’s a cool thing someone built. Let it be what it is.
