I thought for a moment that Spotify uses Opus, but it turns out that they use Vorbis. Wonder why a switch isn't on their roadmap.

- criddell 8y ago> Wonder why a switch isn't on their roadmap. Just a guess but I bet it's because the cost would be higher than the extra revenue it would generate.
- kingosticks 8y agoDo they publish their roadmap? I'd imagine they consider what they have is good enough considering the backwards compatability issue it'd likely introduce.
- ValentineC 8y agoThey don't publish their roadmap, but there have been threads on their community forums suggesting this, and an official "Not Right Now" response: https://community.spotify.com/t5/Live-Ideas/Music-Use-Opus-Codec-instead-of-OGG-Vorbis/idi-p/1207548 https://community.spotify.com/t5/Live-Ideas/Music-Use-Opus-C...
- kingosticks 8y agoI've yet to see them implement anything suggested on their forum (or github).
