Sure, there's no massive gain from replacing mp3 with Opus. For new files, though, mp3/Vorbis doesn't make sense any more.


It took more than 10 years for Vorbis support to become widespread. It will take a few more years before we can hope to play Opus easily everywhere.

We are at a stage where current solutions are just good enough in most case. Change is therefore becoming increasingly slow.

Even for music streaming, many services continue to use MP3 and AAC.
