I’ve converted my music library to opus and it’s all offline, on my phone and PC. It’s the only way to listen to some things that get caught in licensing hell, and that’s only going to get worse over time.
It’s an open source codec. I convert from FLAC (lossless) to Opus (lossy), I couldn’t hear much if any difference between FLAC and 128kbits opus, your mileage may vary, but it saves me 10x space, very useful for a big library on an SD card compared to lossless.
