Thesesamples demonstrate the quality achievable with Opus. They are have been encoded with Opus and thendecoded back to wav so that any browser can play them. The bitrates indicated are target bitrates, i.e.the average that would be achieved on a large audio collection.

Below you will find a selection of sample .opus audio files for you to download. On the right there are some details about the file such as its size so you can best decide which one will fit your needs.

A celebration of Penhaligon's rich and distinctive heritage. A superbly constructed and complex elegant woody chypre.

Opening with a luxurious accord of sweet citrus and fiery black pepper, it is instantly addictive, reaches out, and draws you in. The heart is lit by the delicacy of English Clove Rose and the evocative temple ambience of incense. The base notes are glorious, smoky waves of aromatic cedarwood and sandalwood.

Opus 1870 is earthly warmth and cashmere comfort, the log fire of our fragrances, something you want to be next to, warmed by, strangely drawn to, and captured by.

Penhaligons Opus 1870 Fragrance Notes

Important info: Here, we sell decants only. Penhaligon's Opus 1870 fragrance sample is a hand-decanted sample. The original bottle on the main picture is not for sale, it just shows the original bottle from which perfume will be decanted. Therefore, the customer will receive the authentic fragrance poured from the original bottle into a new sterile vial.

As a sidenote, the first core reload complains about a missing format opus24, but a second one goes well. Still not accepting the offer. Otherwise, opus is going smoothly with default config (at a gross of 70 kbit/s).

Ok I solved, it was a grammar error in the parameters in codec.conf. In the meanwhile I also switched to pjsip and enabled WebRTC support with my Opus specific config (in particular narrowband). Only issue I have left is that the max ptime is always seto to 20 ms and cannot be increased. Do you have any suggestions in this regard? Thanks!!

It is primarily designed for interactive speech and music transmission over the Internet, but is also applicable to storage and streaming applications. It incorporates technology from Skype's SILK codec and Xiph.Org's CELT codec. It has been standardized by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) as RFC 6716.

Opus has been in development since early 2007. Programmers associated with Xiph.Org, Skype and several other organizations have contributed to its development and to the standardization process as part of the IETF's Codec Working Group.

The reason is simple: lossy codecs are designed to preserve audible details while discarding irrelevant information. Since the human ear can only hear up to 20 kHz at best (usually lower than that), frequency content above 20 kHz is the first thing to go.

The reference Opus source code is released under a three-clause BSD license, which is a very permissive Open Source license. Commercial use and distribution (including in proprietary software) is permitted, provided that some basic conditions specified in the license are met.

Opus is also covered by some patents, for which royalty-free usage rights are granted, under conditions that the authors believe are compatible with (hopefully) all open source licenses, including the GPL (v2 and v3).

Most of the value of a high-quality standard is the innovation and inter-operation provided by the systems built on top of it. When a few parties have monopoly rights to monetize a standard, that infrastructure stops being so common and everyone else has more reason to use their own solution instead, increasing cost and reducing efficiency.

The SILK codec, as submitted by Skype to the IETF, was heavily modified as part of its integration within Opus. The modifications are significant enough that it is not possible to just write a "translator". Even sharing code between Opus and the "old SILK" would be highly complex.

In addition to a Linear Prediction SILK mode and an MDCT CELT mode it has a hybrid mode, where speech frequencies up to 8 kHz are encoded with LP while those between 8 and 20 kHz are encoded with MDCT. This is what allows Opus to have such high speech quality around 32 kbps.

The encoder can keep evolving as long as the bitstream it produces can be decoded by the reference decoder. This is what made it possible for modern MP3 encoders (e.g. LAME) to improve far beyond the original L3enc and dist10 reference implementations.

One of the first things we've been asked when designing Opus was to make the rate really adaptable because we never know what kind of rates will be available. This not only meant having a wide range of bitrates, but also being able to vary in small increments.

One last aspect is that Opus is simple to transport over RTP, as can be seen from the Opus RTP payload format. For example, it's possible to decode RTP packets without having even seen the SDP or any out-of-band signalling.

Opus has variable frame durations which can change on the fly, so an Opus decoder needs to be ready to accept packets with durations that are any multiple of 2.5ms up to a maximum of 120ms.

The opus encoder and decoder do not need to have matched sampling rates or channel counts. It is recommended to always just decode at the highest rate the hardware supports (e.g. 48kHz stereo) so the user gets the full quality of whatever the far end is sending.

If the bug cannot be triggered by the command line tools, please provide a simple patch or C file that can help reproduce it. Please also provide any other relevant information, such as OS, CPU, build options, etc.

Opus Custom requires additional out-of-band signalling that Opus does not normally require and disables many of Opus' coding modes. Also, because it is an optional part of the specification, using Opus Custom may lead to compatibility problems.

Tools which read or write Opus should inter-operate with other sampling rates by transparently performing sample rate conversion behind the scenes whenever necessary. In particular, software developers should not use Opus Custom for 44.1 kHz support, except in the very specific circumstances outlined above.

Note that it's generally preferable for a decoder to output at 48kHz, even when you know the original input was 44.1kHz. This is not only because you can skip resampling, but also because many cheaper audio interfaces have poor quality output for 44.1kHz.

One advantage of supporting only one internal rate is that it makes it possible for Opus to support many features, including efficient speech compression (through SILK) and real-time applications. It also means all the quality tuning effort can be spent on a single configuration, which helps bring even better quality.

The bitrate setting controls the desired quality, on a scale that is calibrated to closely approximate the average bitrate that would be obtained over a large and diverse collection of audio. The actual bitrate of any particular audio stream may be higher or lower than this average.

Sizes greater than 20 ms increase latency and are generally beneficial only at fairly low bitrates, or when used to reduce external overhead (e.g. by reducing the number of packets that are sent). For file encoding, using a frame size larger than 20 ms will usually result in worse quality for the same bitrate because it constrains the encoder in the decisions it can make.

In order to make use of in-band FEC the decoder must delay its output by at least one frame so that it can call the decoder with the decode_fec argument on the next frame in order to reconstruct the missed frame. This works best if it's integrated with a jitter buffer.

If libopus is built with -DNONTHREADSAFE_PSEUDOSTACK (instead of VAR_ARRAYS, or USE_ALLOCA), it will use a user-provided block of heap instead of stack for many things, resulting in much lower stack usage.

This makes the resulting library non-threadsafe and is not recommended on anything except limited embedded platforms.

For slower embedded CPUs/DSPs, the amount of CPU required will vary depending on the configuration and the exact CPU, so you will need to experiment. Do not expect Opus to run quickly on really slow devices like 8-bit micro-controllers.

Opus also has a complexity option that can trade quality for complexity. The default is highest quality and highest complexity. You can control this using OPUS_SET_COMPLEXITY() (see the Documentation for details).

Computing the duration directly from the file contents allows files to be written in a single pass, without any seeking, which is necessary for live streaming. Chaining also simplifies live streaming, as you can just pipe multiple files into the same network connection, with all associated metadata updates, etc., and the results are still valid .opus files (contrast with the hacks used to add metadata to MP3 streams).

Opening a typical .opus file, which is not multiplexed and not chained, and computing the duration over the network requires just one extra HTTP request, which can proceed in parallel with the buffering in the main request. This is the behavior you will get from libopusfile's HTTP backend by default.

Enumeration of chain boundaries can be expensive in files with many links, but in our testing libopusfile used nearly an order of magnitude fewer seeks to do this than some other media frameworks (at the time). Storing a duration in a header wouldn't solve this, since every link in a chain has its own, independent headers. If the cost of chain enumeration is a problem, the best way to avoid it is to store the links in separate files (i.e., don't use chaining).

libopusfile includes fallbacks to prevent pathological worst-case behavior when its guesses are repeatedly wrong. Weighted bisection can degrade to a linear scan, but libopusfile's worst case is within a constant factor of naive bisection (i.e., logarithmic). We have only ever observed such pathological behavior in files we manually constructed to trigger it.
