What is OPUS file?
The OPUS .OPUS file extension is a lossy-compression audio file format used primarily for voice or audio transmission over the internet. It was developed by the Xiph.org Foundation and is an open-source compression technology. The audio files can be streamable and have low latency, meaning they can be played instantly without lags. OPUS audio files have a wide range of supported audio codecs, allowing users to play or convert the file with any compatible media software. [ ⏩ ] OPUS file extension
What is AAC file?
The .AAC file extension is a versatile audio compression format developed by the Moving Picture Experts Group. It is a part of the MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 standard and is used on Apple iOS devices, Sony PSP gaming consoles, and some multimedia websites. The AAC format is designed to provide significantly better sound quality than MP3 with lower bit-rates. It also offers advanced features such as error correction codes and index tables for faster seeking during playback. [ ⏩ ] AAC file extension
How to convert the file from OPUS to AAC?
To successfully convert the OPUS file to AAC, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.OPUS). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case AAC (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than AAC).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. OPUS to AAC. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting OPUS files to AAC files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension AAC, while before this step we had the OPUS file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new AAC file, or not.
