I use it for my music files and audio books as it is smaller than mp3. In average it was around 1/3 less space used, I think. I do not hear a difference, but just to make sure I usually convert from the highest available format available, often FLAC, to opus using ffmpegs default settings. No regrets so far. Doing this for a few years now.

Never understood why it didn't get more popular.

Good sounding product names are in short supply.
[EDIT] For downvoters - I didn't mean they took the Anthropic's product name. Time direction doesn't allow that.

Opus the audio codec massively predates Opus the LLM (2012 vs. 2024).

No one owns the English language. If it breaches some trademark that's something else and very specific.
