Indeed, opus is quite good.  However, for music, lossless will be far
superior. Unless you are very short on hard drive space, there is no
reason to butcher perfectly goo music. Given the sizes and prices of USB
drives, SSD cards, and hard drives these days, that is not so much an
issue.

Unless Dick wants fire up Napster (!) and share audio files.....
