It’s less supported, and for me mp3 is largely enough. Can fit a lot of them on my 20€ 128GB usb key…

Opus is better than MP3 in every way. File size is either better or the same, and audio is better even at lower bitrates. But realistically, most streaming services don’t provide HD audio, so it really doesn’t even matter.

This is YouTube music, which generally serves the split audio from a YouTube video as a song. Most of them I checked either don’t have audio above 130Kbps or don’t even provide MP3/Opus anyways.

I mean, I’m sure that it is less supported, but in all the years I’ve been using it I haven’t found one. 🤷♂️

Youtube Music doesn’t just serve the audio from a video. They do serve the audio from a video if nothing else is available, but they also get releases directly from the publishers/distributors.
The difference in sound quality is definetly noticeable.
