Hi Adam, thanks for bringing Opus to my (our) attention. I looked it up and
it does sound enticing:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opus_(audio_format)

However, looking at https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ there doesn't seem to be
anything about converting files to Opus. I do realize that converting an
MPS to Opus isn't going to improve its sound quality, it's new encodings
that should make the difference. However, I can see some benefit in knowing
how to do the conversion so that all the sound files can be in the same
format. Just wondering if you have any useful links?

cheers,
Robert
