What bitrate should I pick when converting to OPUS?

Opus is remarkably efficient: 64-96 kbps is enough for transparent stereo music, where MP3 needs 192 kbps or more. For speech, 24-32 kbps sounds clean, which is why voice apps run it even lower.

Which apps use OPUS behind the scenes?

WhatsApp, Signal, and Telegram voice notes, Discord calls, YouTube's WebM audio, and nearly all WebRTC browser calls run on Opus. If you've made an internet call recently, you've probably heard it.

How do I get an OPUS file to play on Apple devices?

iTunes and the Apple Music app don't open .opus files, even though iOS ships an Opus decoder for its own internal uses. Convert to AAC or M4A for the Apple ecosystem, or use VLC to play the file as-is.
