When i download audio from YouTube videos then their opus/webm is the best quality original audio. Please add feature of writing of opus files 🙏‍

I'd like to +1 this feature request.

Opus is here to stay, and I'm converting a lot of legacy speech mp3 to opus.

.opus has a shared container format with .ogg, and most of the medatadata is is the same "Vorbis Comment": https://exiftool.org/TagNames/Opus.html

=> Could you please at least add the ability to modify these "Vorbis Comments" fields? That would cover most use cases, there's probably little need to change the rahter internal-ish Opus header fields.

Proof that "Vorbis Comment" support seems to be possible without too much hassle is Foobar2000 supporting it.

Thanks for the +1.  I've added this to my to-do list.

But my real problem here will be testing since I don't have anything that will read or write Opus tags.

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).

Thanks for adding it to your list.

I'm reading the tags in .opus with 1. opus-tools own opusinfo, 2. mediainfo (which even generates a nice xml or json output), 3. Foobar2000 (which can write the Vorbis tags, too).

At least opus-tools is cross-plattform and should be availble out of the box for *nix distros. The pre-build official relase (somewhat outdated for the encoder) is Windows/OSX https://opus-codec.org/downloads/ and up-to-date Windows binaries are http://jeremylee.sh/bins/opus.7z and

There is another tool to read-write opus tags (dunno how I didn't stumble upon it earlier): https://github.com/fmang/opustags

It's *nix commmand line, an older win binary is available at https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php/topic,121444.0.html

Still, Exiftool support would be stil welcome because it's the swiss army knife.
