Rip your Audio CD to Opus using my latest opusenc.exe build with Exact Audio Copy

Hi everyone, Today, I’d like to show you the steps to rip your Audio CD to Opus using Exact Audio Copy and my latest opusenc.exe build. Why use my opusenc.exe build? First, it includes the newly added –tracknumber argument which enables you to easily pass the track number to the opus file. Second, it is not needed to specify the output filename, as it will use the same input name. For Exact Audio Copy, this means that you only need…

Opus GUI V1.3 released and collaborating in the opus-tool GitHub repository

Hi everyone, Today, I’ve released Opus GUI: This build brings an option to enable or disable multithreading and also allows you to encode files to the same input folder by leaving the output textbox blank.

Opus GUI v1.2 released!

Opus GUI v1.2 released!

Hi everyone, Late yesterday, I released v1.2 of Opus GUI: This new release brings several improvements. v1.1 was also released but was immediately superseded by v1.2 due to an uncorrected bitrate bug. First, the GUI will now display the opusenc.exe version being used. This is useful because sometimes, new opusenc versions are released which I personally compile and try to see if there’s new improvements to the audio files. The other improvement is that the software will try to detect…

Ripping my Audio CD music collection to Opus with EAC

Hi everyone, Today, I did a quick experiment using a relatively new Open Source Lossy audio format called Opus, by the Xiph.Org foundation. I downloaded the opus-tools package from the official Opus Website and tried a tool called “opusenc.exe”. Wow! I was really impressed by the sound quality! I like to listen to my audio CD music collection, and I personally have them ripped to the FLAC audio format, which is a Lossless Audio Codec, but being Lossless means it…
