Description | OPUS is one of the most versatile audio codecs designed for high-speed online media data transmission. Having scrutinized MP3, which is still the most popular audio format, specialists from Mozilla Corporation and Skype Technologies S. A. joined efforts to produce an ultimate audio codec, which would inherit the advantages of MP3 yet use a compression scheme that would help files retain original sound quality. The biggest pluses of OPUS are low coding delay, multichannel sound and high compression levels. OPUS files combine SILK codec (Skype Technologies) and CELT codec (Mozilla Corporation). |

File extension | .MP3 |
Category | Audio File |
Description | MP3 is the most popular audio file type based on MPEG-1 Layer III compression. Its lossy algorithm was developed in 1991. MP3 codes the sound almost with the same quality, as CD (16-bit stereo), providing compression in size 1 to 10 from the original WAF or AIFF tracks. The quality of MP3 seriously depends on the bitrate. It can be 128 - 256 kbps. Higher bitrates are also supported, but they seriously increase the file size. It is supported by all modern hard- and software players. |
