Opus is an open, royalty-free lossy audio codec standardised by the IETF as RFC 6716. It was designed to cover everything from low-bitrate speech to full-quality stereo music in a single codec, and it consistently outperforms MP3 and AAC at the same bitrate. Opus powers voice and audio in WhatsApp, Discord, Zoom, YouTube, and every WebRTC browser call, which makes it one of the most widely used audio codecs in the world.
Every major web browser plays Opus natively, so dragging the file into a browser tab works. On the desktop, VLC media player and foobar2000 both support it out of the box.
Android plays Opus natively, and FFmpeg handles conversion from the command line. Some older hardware players, car stereos, and editing programs still do not recognise the format — in that case convert it with our Opus to MP3 tool. You can also convert the file with our OPUS to MP3 tool.

MPEG 4 Audio (M4A) compresses and encodes audio files by using one of two coder-decoder algorithms: Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) or Apple Lossless Audio Codec (ALAC). M4A files are smaller in size while simultaneously better in quality than MP3 files, with which it shares the most similarities, in comparison to all other audio file formats.
M4A files open in most well-known, audio-playback programs, including iTunes, QuickTime, and Windows Media Player. For Apple users, iTunes is the default program to open M4A files. For Windows users, the default program is Windows Media Player. Users can also preview M4A files by highlighting the file and pressing the spacebar.
Additionally, M4A opens in VLC media player, Adobe Premiere Pro, Elmedia Player, Winamp, and a host of other programs.
